My little guy started at preschool on Wednesday last week (photo here). He was so good, I was just amazed at how he handled it. We got there & packed away all of his things then he was allowed to go outside to play. He went out without his hat so after I finished organising part of his lunch in the fridge I took it out to him. I gave him a kiss & a cuddle telling him I was going home now & he said ok. He turned & saw some trucks & said "oooh trucks, I go play?" and that was it!!! I had a few tears on the way out

I picked him up & he had to show me where he did his painting & the sand pit LOL! So we went home & he talked non-stop all afternoon about the things that he did & all about his teachers (Anne & Kylie). I spoke with my sister that evening & she said they were all absolutely amazed at how grown up he is He did everything he was asked when some of the bigger kids in his room refused to. He ate most of his lunch, but finished the rest when he got home & was involved in everything. He had an *almost* accident though, the pants he had on were too hard for him to get down so he dribbled a little, so they will be home pants for now on!

One thing I was amazed about was that Jenny (the director that has been there for 30 years, actually taught my friend Wade!) said that he was a very bright little boy. She was stunned at his sentences - she asked him to hop off the trampoline because it's one at a time & he said "my daddy jumps on the jumpoline (hehe) with me at home" - apparently that's a really long sentence for a little boy She was the one that suggested maybe colour blindness is his issue with colours.... He knows lots of other things but simple colours of red, green & blue he struggles with. So we'll see how he goes through the year.....

Other than that he's a real daddy's boy at the moment, I'm not allowed to get him dressed, help him with the toilet or anything. So it's a nice little break for me over the weekend

Baby girl is doing very well. We're pretty well set on Juliette Catherine for her name which is very exciting Another long one again, but that's cool! Her room is almost finished, I'm getting some pictures delivered this week & then it's all finished except for the piece-de-resistance which is causing aunty Cai no end of drama.
