Liam had his first day of preschool two weeks ago this Tuesday.  Long story short, he loves every minute.  His first day, it was all I could do to not take him, but we decided if me, Nora and Jeremy went all the attention might spark some separation anxiety, so Jeremy just took him (which is going to be the norm).  Jeremy said he wanted him to come into his classroom for a little bit so Jeremy went in and watched for a couple of minutes, then he told him bye, and Liam didn’t care one bit he was leaving!  Of course he was playing with glue at the time .  Nora and I went to pick him up that afternoon and he ran up to me and gave me a hug, but then was upset because he wanted to stay longer. Ha!

Quite often (when it is not a preschool day), he brings me his backpack and says, “Mommy my backpack is all ready for school!”.  So I have to repeatedly tell him, we only go to school on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s.  This morning I told him that, and he said “and Saturday’s too!”  Ha ha.  He loves his teacher, Mrs. Yost and talks about her a lot.  Mrs. Buster is the other teacher that helps in his room and he talks about both of them a lot.

Potty training has been going awesome!  I guess its really not “potty training” anymore, since he is potty trained.  He hasn’t had an accident at school (or at home for that matter, in a very long time), which is awesome.  He has had a little anxiety about going to the bathroom at school for some reason so he will just hold it until he gets home, which means he holds it for about 4.5 hours!  So we are trying to talk to him about how its okay to go at school, and trying to get him over that .  He has gone a few times, but it takes quite a bit of coaxing from Mrs. Yost.

There has only been one bad thing about preschool…Liam got the 2nd round of the stomach flu.  I’m sure its because he is in more of a group setting now, that he has never been in before and is exposed to grimy, nasty kids…eh, germs, I mean .
