Preschool for Lewis

The morning started out pretty good until I asked to take his photo. 

He was only a little nervous about preschool. He was mostly just being his stubborn self. 

Logan said "If you stand next to Mommy's sign I'll say 'poopy' to make you smile.' which is a big deal in our house. You can only say bathroom words in the bathroom unless you want to pay 5 coins for each bathroom word. Lewis thought this deal was totally worth it. 

He refuses to wear his backpack on his back, but was willing to carry it. 

He didn't want to wear his name tag either. *sigh* Everything is a battle these days. 

He gave in to wearing it. We said our goodbyes and I did all the reassuring with a smile. He took his teachers hand and headed toward the backpack hooks. 

I knew he was comfortable enough for me to leave so I slipped out and started contemplating what the next 2hrs would hold. I ended up taking Logan to work and visiting Grandma and Coco. 

Lewis was all smiles when I picked him up! He told us so.many.things about his day at school. They had animal crackers for snack...his favorite. He drew a purple peacock. (See above) Whoever he tells about his drawing he "draw it for you!" Sorry, it's mine. Forever filed away (eventually) in the Lewis treasures from childhood.
