The day Alekisio has been waiting for finally arrived! Last week a preschool up the street called to say they had an opening. Alekisio was ready to go that night. He's been asking when he's going to his school for a few months. We spent last week looking for unlined composition notebooks and a back pack. He chose spiderman and has been carrying it everywhere. Aisea came home from work to take him to school with me. When we got to the parking lot Alekisio was already unbuckling ready to go. There was a little girl in the parking lot that he told us was his friend, everyone at school is his friend. He led Aisea right to his classroom and immediately opened his backpack and started handing out kleenex and earphones to the kids. Once I told him to give those things to the teacher he went right to the kitchen play area. From that moment on I didn't exist. I couldn't get him to look at his cubby, and when I said bye to him he didn't even look at me. He's so grown up and independent. He didn't even want to come home. I didn't think I was emotional until I was almost home and realized a tear was coming down my cheek. I didn't feel sad. Maybe it's that he didn't care I was leaving him. When I asked about his day he said he bonked someone's head, ate a sandwich, and played with Jason. School must make you hungry because he came home and ate 6 dino chicken nuggets, three pieces of cheese, some turkey, and drank a glass of juice, milk, and water.
Check out the fork Alekisio chose chose to eat breakfast with this morning.
