Andrew Starts Pre-School

Well, here we go. Andrew is the 3rd kid that I've sent to this local pre-school. And, you know, it doesn't get any easier. It is fun to see them grow up, but at the same time it hits you how fast it it going! He is very excited though. I've been helping him count down the days!

Here he is showing us his cubby and part of the playing area that is in his school.

He will go to class on Mondays and Fridays from 8:45 - 10:45. So he won't be going a lot, but just enough for him to have some fun and make some friends. That is the part he is most excited about. Having his own friends.

After school he was very proud of his painting, and his teacher, Mrs "K", said that he was very well behaved and did a good job. One thing that she said about him was that he was very particular about the rules. That he made it his job to help her keep everyone on track. I encouraged her to help him learn that SHE is in charge!

China Guy

Andrew came to me one day and he wanted to sing a song with me. I said OK and asked him what song he would like to sing. He told me he wanted to sing "China Guy". I looked at him very awkwardly and then I looked at Val and she gave me the "beats the heck out of me" look. So I asked him, "What's China Guy?" He said "Daddy, you know? China Guy!" Finally, I told him to sing it to me. So he started singing "I am a China Guy and Jesus sent me here." My head just about exploded because I was holding my laughter in. It was the cutest thing I've ever heard and I pulled him in and gave him a big hug and said I would love to sing with him. All of this time Val was hiding in the closet because he was laughing as well. In case you don't know, he wanted to sing a song he's learned in Primary thats supposed to go like this, "I am a child of God and He has sent me here."

Andrew is our 3 year old Winston Churchill. He is very passionate and has great leadership qualities. He is also the comedian of the family. All of the boys make us laugh, but Drew sets out to get a laugh. Follow along as he will soon be doing very "big boy " things. He is learning to ride a scooter and a bike, and he will be starting pre-school this year!
