Although he's a bit bummed that he won't be able to see his preschool teachers from last year, being in a new preschool, with new friends and a new teacher doesn't seem to concern him one bit. The only thing he wanted to make sure of was that it wasn't going to be a "long preschool". I think he's a still bit wary of how long I'm going to leave him since the YMCA camp days were too long for his preference, but I assured him that I'd be there to pick him up after he eats lunch and plays for a few more minutes.
He actually is very preoccupied with how long things are lasting these days. For instance, every day he asks for a "short quiet time" or even more befuddling a " short dinner time" or a "short night time". Yes, quite time lengths can vary from day to day depending on our schedule, but dinner takes however long it takes, and night time is pretty consistent from night to night. Plus he's asleep so I'm not sure how he gauges if its been a "long" or "short" night. Yet, we have the same conversation most nights when I put him to bed.
And since all three kids were cheerful this morning before school, I got the sibling picture that I had to abandon a few weeks ago. Hooray for happy kids who are cheerful about going to school! And hooray for this mama who will have a much needed break after another summer that involved a move. Whew, those moves really make for lots of chaos in my life, and I'm praying that I don't have another one of those for a long, LONG time!!
