Sam's Preschool

Sam, Andrew and I began a co-op preschool three weeks ago. Sam is enrolled, but Andrew is allowed to attend and can participate in most aspects. While his attention span is still a little short for circle time, he plays well around the big kids with the wheeled toys, sandbox, Legos and other areas. The first day that we went was a whirlwind of learning new things (all Moms work at a station and all the new moms have a lot of learning to do to keep the school running). However, Andrew jumped right in with two feet and LOVED playing there. At the end, I said it was time to go, and hoped to excite him with the prospect of a sandwich in the car (after all, ending at 12pm brought us to lunchtime and very close to his 12:30pm naptime). Andrew stubbornly told me, "No car, no sandwich, no home." He wanted to stay at preschool! I think since then he's started to realize that it's a place we will go back to frequently but most days when I announced we're going to preschool, he says "Yay!!" and claps his hands. :)

Who's boy?

At church the other day, Dave was holding Andrew and someone came up and said to Andrew, "Are you Daddy's boy?" Andrew replied, "No!" Then they said, "Oh, are you Mommy's boy?" Andrew's quick response was "No, Sam's boy"

Needless to say, Andrew adores his older brother and they have great fun playing together these days (when not being territorial about toys). When people ask him his name, his first response is still "Sam." We've gotta work on that one before he confuses too many more people... :)
