First new year's resolution...PRESCHOOL!!!!!

In the first full week of the new year I was able to knock out some of my priority new year's resolutions...not the least of these was getting Shane into PRESCHOOL. We showed up to the preschool the first morning preschool was back into session...and we were able to jump into the only vacant spot in the 4 year old class....which was not the inital plan. Of course, he wanted to be in the same class as his buddies Jack, Sam and Luke...but there was just no room in the 3 year old class. But we are already finding that its okay not to be in the same class...in fact, there are some advantages. He is stretching and making new friends...and he is thriving in a class where all the kids are several months older than him. He loves the curriculum and the christian-based themes...and he really likes his teacher. In fact, funny story from his teacher on Friday...when I picked him up. Apparently Shane was playing with babies one of their stations and he came up to his teacher and told her the baby was hungry. So the teacher, which I might add is very practical, told him she could help with that. She went to get a bottle to feed the doll. Shane, very confused at this point, sees that she is clearly not doing it right...walked up to her and said," NO, that's not how you do it!" ...then proceeds to push the bottle away and put the doll up to his teacher, showing her how to nurse the baby=))!!!! As Ms. Wilder is telling me this, I look at her waiting for her reaction...was she offended, astonished....oh no! She was cracking up and saying its great he sees that and knows that's how it should be done. PHEW!!! I always knew he was watching...apparently he has now mastered the skill! It certainly was a good introduction for his teacher on the true nature of the SHANER man. He is one unique kiddo!!
