Kire started preschool yesterday. It is Tues through Thurs, I kind of wish it was only 2 days a week but 3 will be good for him. His first project was to write his name and decorate each letter with objects that start with that letter. I got a piece of cardstock and we stuck stickers to it; kittens for K, insects for I and so on. I was proud of our little project until we show up to school and half of the moms are carrying poster boards with fruit loops or m&m's stuck to it. Why do people put so much pressure on themselves to be so over the top, especially in PRESCHOOL! I'm happy with mediocrity.
The great thing about preschool too is that it's close enough to push the kids in the stroller so it forces me to exercise, 30 minutes round trip!
He has an Iron Man backpack, but he decided to bring the Penguin, which is cute. He also insists on choosing his own clothes & shoes-this outfit wasn't too bad.

How cute! I like the penguin backpack :) I know what you mean... wait until Valentine's Day. I was the ghetto mom who covered her kid's box in tin foil and transformers stickers, and not scrapbook paper and matching stickers! But you know what all the kids with cute boxes were jealous of Bridge's ghetto transformer box so there :P
Stickers is more than I would've done. At least you made the effort to get the appropriate ones. I would've made Priscilla use things we have around the house. Paper for P, rice for R, print a picture of an ice cube from google images for I, etc.
Starting school is so exciting! Max also started. He is doing Tuesday and Thursday. We are also close enough to walk! Were you nervous for him? I was for Max!
I worked out last night and I have been hungry all day- what have you experienced?
Oh, and do you get all over the top dressed up to drop Kire off? The group I am doing joyschool with is pretty good at not doing that- except for one. SHe always looks perfect at 9:30 A.M. she has 3 kids and is 7 months pregnant! Then my sister told me she always gets ready. My point is, I am ok with mediocracy also- in all things!
