The parent launch meeting was last night and his classroom visit is tomorrow. How can my baby be a preschool kid?
Today we visited vital records because somebody forgot that Virginia doesn't just send you a child's birth certificate, you have to request it, and he was chatting up the other children in the place. "I'm Xander. I'm going to preschool. I need a blue backpack for preschool." He's right, he does need a backpack. Good thing he keeps me straight. The third kid is a whole new animal: he knows the ropes, and he's got plans. Four years ago when Griff started school at 3 1/2 I wasn't sure that either of us was ready for it. I couldn't believe anybody would send a two-year-old - a baby - to school five days a week. Yet here I am, doing it.
He's ready (BOY, is he ready). I'm ready (ditto). Let's do this thing.
