Tanner Starts Preschool

Back at the beginning of September Tanner started preschool. He has been wanting to go to school since last year. When I would take Ethan to kindergarten Tanner would say, "Mommy, I can go to school. I'm 5, duhhh." I would just tell him that "next year you can go to preschool Tanner".

Well, he needed a backpack for preschool and loves SpeedRacer so he got his very own SpeedRacer backpack. (I had seriously contemplated having him use a cheapy older Spiderman one until he started kindergarten next year.)
He is going to the same preschool that Ethan did a couple years ago. I got a referral to here from my friend, Kathy, whose had 3 of her girls go here as well. His teacher's name is Ms. Connie and she does the school in her basement.

The thing I was most worried about was his food allergies. I'm assuming all is going well in that department since I gave the teacher a list of snacks that he likes and is used to having. I think the beginning was a little rough for him snack-wise though because Ms. Connie told me that after several days of other kids' birthdays & treats, she brought out some Oreos and Tanner said with much excitement, "Hey, I can have those!".

Speaking of excitement... I'm hoping that now that he's in preschool 3 days a week and my other two are back on track that I'll get at least one day (one day, I'll be at the school volunteering, and another day will be a shopping day) where I have an hour to myself. That is, if I can get Garrett down for a nap before Tanner gets out of school. I know this won't be happening this week because S & E have early out for parent/teacher conferences 15 minutes after I drop Tanner off. Here's hoping for next week!
