Henry's First Day of Preschool

Henry had his first day of preschool yesterday. He was very excited. Mark, Irene, and I walked him to his classroom. He barely had time to give us a kiss before he was off playing with the other students.
Two and a half hours later we picked him up. He was pinked cheeked and tired from the fun time he had. He made a picture that he glued together of the school. He also had Teddy Grahams and red juice (his words) for a snack. They played outside and a dump truck dropped off dirt while they were out. He described the different sounds that truck made including the banging of the back metal flap.
When daddy went in to get him the teacher had to tell Henry three times that his daddy was there. Henry just didn't want to leave. I am pleased that he had such a good time. I hope it continues to go well. He has asked today about when he goes again. I told him tomorrow so he is happy. Irene was not happy that she was not old enough to go to preschool. She has her own backpack and insisted upon wearing it to the school. We told Henry to make sure to listen to the teacher and Irene kept telling us that she would listen to the teacher! I felt bad for her. The cut off age for three year old class was two and a half by a certain date and she didn't make it. She got to go to the grocery store instead.

After school we decided to go to the beach. The summer weather here was not very summer-ee this August so we didn't beach very much. Yesterday was a hot and sunny day, perfect for the beach. There were some people there but near as many as had been before Labor Day. We had a great time.
