Mason's First Day of Preschool

Mason had his very first day of preschool today - can you believe it! He's in the 2 year old program at a local church and he only goes one day a week. He's been looking forward to it since I brought home his new backpack.

I was a little concerned about how it would go since this was the mood he was in early on!
Enjoying his pancakes and bacon (his special request). Shame on mama for not having any strawberries in the house. He told me, "I sure would love some strawberries too!" Crazy kid!

Getting ready to leave

Checking out the quilt in the hallway at school while waiting for the teacher to get to the classroom.

Once he got inside the classroom he went straight for the dinosaurs.

I handled myself much better than I thought I would! I even managed not to cry. When I went to pick him up I worried I'd be the first in line but, apparently, there were many more moms more anxious than I. I did pick up some strawberries while I was at the store to cheer him up just in case he had a bad day! As she was putting him in the car, his teacher told me that he had a great first day. She said he got a little choked up when he realized Drew and I were gone, but he got over it very quickly. Knowing Mason, some of the other kids were crying and he had to join in a little! He is my little man!

Kids say the darnedest things

Yesterday -
Mason: Mama, where's your friend, Daddy? He makin' money?

Last week -
Mason: I've got a boo boo. (pointing to a red spot on his chest)
Me: What happened?
Mason: A dinosaur bit me.
Me: A dinosaur bit you. Oh my! Where did he bite you?
Mason: In my room.
Me: Was he big?
Mason: It was a teeny, tiny dinosaur.
Me: What color was he?
Mason: Orange.
Me: Did he have any horns?
Mason: A yellow taxi car horn.
This went on for a while and I was able to ascertain that the teeny tiny orange dinosaur with a yellow taxi car horn giggled when he bit with his soft teeth. He drove away in his black car to go home to play with his dinosaur friends.
I'm not real sure what happened, but he's still sticking to the dinosaur story - although he changes colors now.
