Is the first day of preschool supposed to be harder for the parent than it is for the kid? We got to school early so that we could take pictures and I could walk Garrett to class. He wanted nothing to do with that!! The school has a "carpool" lane where the parents pull up and drop their kids at the curb with the teacher's aide. Garrett insisted that I follow proper "big kid" protocol, I was not prepared for that.
He had a great time, of course, and hasn't stopped talking about it all day. He was the big helper in class and followed all of Ms. Lynn's instructions (if only she lived here!). There is a boy in his class with a severe peanut allergy so none of the students can bring anything with peanuts or peanut oil in them. Garrett is now obsessed with peanuts! He asks about everything. "Do bananas have peanuts? What about fruit snacks?" It is quite disturbing that "fruit"snacks contain no fruit, but they do contain Carnuba Wax! Mmmm, tasty!
We took some pictures, but apparently, the sun is Garrett's Kryptonite! He is squinting so tight that you'd think I was shining a spotlight directly in his eyes. I thought about re-taking them, but decided against it. I want to show him exactly the way he is...and now I have something to show his future girlfriends!
P.S. Neither bananas or fruit snacks contain peanuts!

What teacher could resist this young man? You know the type--gets into every kind of trouble but you gotta bite your lip when laughing. Keep 'em coming, Jackie.

I'm glad that things went so well for him at school. It is kinda sad to realize that they don't need us as much as we think they do! Trust me, you'll get over it really quickly!!!:)
