Letters and Numbers, Oh My!

Mom keeps telling me I'm going to start preschool soon. I am in the denial stage. She is trying to get me ready. She started reading a book called The Kissing Hand which reminds kids that no matter where they are or how lonely they may feel, their mama's love is always with them.

Every time she reads this book, I say, "Mom, I don't want to go to school." And then I make her give me lots of kisses. She tells me that my teacher will be Mrs. Pettebone (is this a joke?) and that I'll get to pick out a fun back-to-school outfit and carry a special snack with me every day.

Like I said, I'm still in denial about all this change.

Today we got to use markers and practice our letters and numbers. Jude just scribbled and then he colored his hands, arms and feet. We looked like a blue and green mess when it was all over!
