CHOO CHOO PRESCHOOL

This past week, Sean attended Choo Choo Preschool at the local museum, every morning from 9-11.  He loved it!   They must have worked them a lot too, because he was exhausted every evening.  The first few days, dropping him off was difficult.  Not because he didn't want to go, but because little brother DID want to go!  Ryan threw himself in the gravel, in the rain, the first day.  The second day he cried for 15 minutes while we drove to the gym.  Finally, he got used to the idea of not staying... that is not to say that he liked it though!   Sean would share stories each day of what they learned and where they went.  Now he is excited for his next adventure... Prairie Preschool starts on Monday.  Last weeks group (in Prairie Preschool) appeared to be mostly girls... we'll see if any other boys join this week.
