PreK

Today was Lil G's first day of PreK.  Most of you know that Lil G has a phonological delay of speech.  Basically, he has a crazy number of words but he doesn't always pronounce them well.  So, he is headed to a class here in town that focuses on his condition.  The awesome thing is, everyone in the class has the same issues that he has:  they are all completely normal cognitively but have some issues with pronouncing their words.

Today was very bittersweet for me.  I love spending time with my little man but I know that he has to grow up.  This is an intrical part of that process.  So, it is a necessary transition for our family.

Lil G was very excited about the first day of school..  Clearly, excited and nervous, judging by how wacky he was acting this morning.  He is generally a good listener (for a three year old) but this morning, he was having major difficulties.  But, we perservered and he was extremely excited to go to class with his teachers.  No tears or shyness around here!

Here he is showing off his new backpack for school.  He was so proud to tell EVERYONE that it had "a rocket ship and a flag".
