Grady started school yesterday! He is going two mornings a week to a great pre-school. He has been asking to go to school as most of his friends go. We went and checked it out a few weeks ago and he really enjoyed it. After getting to know him, they moved him up to the 3 year old class. He is the youngest by far but it seems to be a good fit.
He cried a bit when I left but it didn't last too long. He started talking some kids ear off and seemed happy. When I came to pick him up he said, "I was sad. You left me!" Then he told me about the fun activities and games they played.
He began telling me about a song they sung. He said, "mom, we sung a song about almonds." I was a bit confused and asked "almonds?". He said, "Yup, the food, almonds." Then he started to sing the song and I cracked up. You see, it's a church pre-school so they are introduced to the bible, Jesus, etc. So the "song" was really a prayer. It went like this....
"God our Father, God our Father. We give thanks. ALMONDS, ALMONDS."
HA HA!! It was really "AMEN".
It was a rainy first day of school. He insisted on wearing his frog boots.
Check out this shiner! Grady crashed on his bike this weekend. As you can see, he landed right on his face. Just in time to start school. This is his "look at my hurt face" look. It doesn't look that bad in the pictures but in real life it's pretty nasty.
I love the boots! I am sure he is going to love pre-school, and it won't be so bad for mom to have a little extra time to herself ;)! He really is such a cool kid. The almonds made me laugh!
