He loved it! At drop-off, he was reserved and quiet. Not smiling. I was unsure how the first day would go. It’s only 3 1/2 hours for the first two days, so the kids can ease into it. But Elliot did not ask me to stay with him as he always did in preschool… so I count that as independence improvement!
When I picked him up, he was his usual bubbly, jolly self and had lots to tell me. He was especially interested in telling me about a raccoon book they read. See if you can tell which photos are from drop-off and which are pick-up!
On the way out, we spent about 30 minutes in the library. Elliot talked to the librarian, Michael, a lot. No one else was there so we had it all to ourselves. I love that library. I picked up several books we know, but also “Puff the Magic Dragon”, a song I sing to Elliot at bedtime. He did not want me to read it to him.
Then we went to the farm and played with the goats and chickens, just like yesterday at the meet-and-greet… and at the popsicle playground party last week. He can’t get enough of the farm animals, even after a week at Farmette Camp this past summer.
Elliot asked me how he could become a farmer.
Then we drove home, had some lunch, and went to Tiny Town for a while.
Elliot has had TWO naps today, after sleeping 9-10 hours last night. I’ve never seen him nap twice in one day!
