Preschool Thoughts

We sing songs TWO TIMES today. I don’t sing. 

Me: guess what. You don’t have to go to bible study with me anymore. 

E: why not?

Me: because you’ll be at school having fun. 

E: yeah, that’s good newsing!

E: Mom one of my classmates found something that’s not exactly a porkepine but it’s something that’s sticky. 

Me: is it an animal?

E: oh! It was a pinecone. 

Me: so how was preschool?

E: pretty good. 

Me: what did you do?

E: a tornado drill. 

Me: what do you do for a tornado drill?

E: you exit. 

Me: so did you talk to any of your new friends?

E: no. I was the only one. 

Me: weren’t there a lot of other kids at school today?

E: nope. Just me. 

[we later realized he was saying there were no other children at school that we already knew]

E: we didn’t go outside today. Oh wait. We did. I played in the sand pit. I was digging a swimming pool.  

Me: wow! Did you finish digging the pool or do you have more to work on next time you’re at preschool?

E: I finished. 

E: [very annoyed] a boy was playing with the fire truck and I wanted a turn. So I say ‘can I have a turn when you are done?’ and he said yes. 

Me: did he give you a turn when he was done?

E: [annoyed] yes he did. 

Me: sounds like you did a great job being patient and he did a great job sharing with you. 

E: yes I did.
