In the first three weeks she has had sports with the sports teacher once or twice a week, music with the music teacher, sung Twinkle twinkle little star in Italian, a long with all the other stuff that goes on in the classroom. Currently they are learning to spell a child's name each day with "letterland", she is hanging out to have here name done - maybe this week. She has made lots of friends and has found another level of confidence, so far she is happy speaking in front of the class (in a circle on the mat) which for Caitlin is a massive leap forward.
And this is our "big preschool boy". He was so excited heading off to preschool on the first day. Absolutely no separation anxiety, waving us good-bye from the sandpit. He was great for the first four days but the 5th and 6th days he was clingy and had a cry, but fingers crossed that is out of the way as he was fine again on Friday. The joy of different personalities is that we actually get to hear about what Ryan is doing at preschool as with Caitlin it was like getting blood from a stone sometimes. Ryan's preschool career will be based around the sandpit, most days I pick him up that is where I will find him.
We are all very happy with the settling in process. They have both changed so much and are extremely settled which always makes for a happy relaxed time.
The other thing that surprises me (more about me than the others) is that we/I am not rushing in the morning to get out the door, usually we are ready and waiting half an hour before it's time to go and I have done and hung a load of washing and sometimes even gone for my walk! The joys of the earlier mornings over here. I can see that surprised look on your face Claire H!
