Yay!

Preschool started this week and we couldn't have been more excited. The past few weeks have been a little hectic since Maya's dance and gymnastics classes ended and left us without some organized play time. Also, my classes started a couple of weeks ago so that's made for a little schedule juggling. But finally Maya went back to school and we get to ease into a new and, hopefully, easier schedule.

This is my monkey's last year before Kindergarten and her school isn't messing around. She had a school supply list that actually had notebooks on it. Notebooks! What I can remember about preschool is play time, story time, singing songs, show and tell, snack, rest time, and more play time. At some point I learned to write my name, but Maya already has me beat on that one.

Charlie decided to be in the school supplies picture. Or rather, I started laying everything on the bed and he wouldn't move because he was hoping for a tummy rub. He has a lot of tummy.

I do believe my little mute may have turned a corner (after adding those links I noticed I seem to have this hope every year). Her teacher's aid is the same one from last year and today she told Jason that Maya is a completely different kid; she's not shy at all. I'm going to assume that the "not shy at all" is just a comparison to the old Maya and not a comparison to your average kid because she still has no problem completely shutting down at random times. To stop that would be asking too much.
