Bennett's First Day of Pre-K

On the day after Labor Day, Bennett started his second year at Little Flowers. I guess the reason I'm just getting around to blogging about it now (aside from a delay on uploading photos, getting used to the new laptop, and general day to day distractions from blogging) is that his return to school was completely uneventful. In a good way! He started off right where he left off last year. He didn't talk much about school over the summer, or in the days leading up to his first day back. We attended the Ice Cream Social (which was really a Popsicle Social), said hello again to Christine and Kristi, and Bennett (and Little Flowers' graduate Annalise) chased old classmates around the courtyard.

Bennett is still attending half days, which is different than Annalise's second year of preschool, when she went to school all day, every day from the start of the year. As all of you who know both B and A, they are very different people, and half days was still the right choice for Bennett. He is learning a lot of the materials reserved for the older children, and is on the edge of reading. It is going to be a very exciting year for Bennett. Maybe if he ever stops napping (please, may that be never), we would consider sending him all day, but right now I think the boys are enjoying their schedule.
