meet the teacher

Thursday was meet the teacher morning at preschool. Neland was very excited to visit school, Teague kept making sure I wasn't going to leave him. In fact it took me about ten minutes to get him in the car to visit school. The whole drive there he pouted in his car seat. While Neland reassured him that I would stay with him today but next week I'd leave, and that would be okay because Teague would have new friends and toys to play with. That kid is probably the sweetest kid I've ever met. He reassured Teague the whole day about how much fun school is. When we pulled into the parking lot Teague said, "Where's my bookbag?". Crazy kid.

We visited Teague's class first. There are only four students in his class. He went right to playing with cars, trucks and trains. Then drifted over to the kitchen. He refused to acknowledge his teachers until it was time to say goodbye. One of Teague's teachers was Neland's teacher in the twos, the year Teague was born. It's crazy to think that was over two years ago!

 After thirty minutes in Teague's room, we visited Neland's room. This is going to be another great year for Neland. His teachers are really sweet, and already know him. They mentioned how excited they were to see his name on their list, which really put my heart at ease. I know Neland has talked to them on the playground and in the hallways because they'd ask me about things he'd mentioned. Neland is really excited about his room, mainly because there are a pair of white gloves in it. Apparently they remind him of The Cat in the Hat. When it was time to go Neland put up a very defiant attitude, but gave his teachers a hug and said "See you Tuesday".

 We also had to get a picture with Miss Melissa. Neland even showed her how he does a rolly polly right in the middle of the hallway. Rolly Polly = somersault.

I'm glad the boys will be back into a routine and that they both seemed to really enjoy their rooms, but I will definitely miss our free days of adventures. Neland is going five days a week which really breaks my heart, and I may just have to keep him with me a few Fridays for zoo trips or other fun ideas.
