Little Hands

Today was a big day for our little Bennett. He started Little Hands, a co-op preschool here in Belmont. We'll be going to school every Thursday for 2 hours. I must admit, we had quite an interesting morning before we left for school. Bennett was unusually whiny and clinging to my legs all morning so it was nearly impossible for me to get ready. He broke some of my makeup, dumped garbage all over our room, discovered how to unroll the toilet paper, refused to get dressed, kicked his shoes off 3 times before we got out the door, spilled milk all over his shirt, you get the picture! :) I was literally SWEATING by the time I got into the car. After a few deep breaths, I managed to pull it together and we had a great time at school. Bennett had fun exploring and playing with new friends, and I had fun meeting new mommies! I knew Bennett would excel in this new environment. I often found him in a completely different room from me or outside playing with a constant smile on his face. Teacher LaLaine commented on how happy he was and called him "Mr. Independent". I'm so glad our day turned around!

Playing inside with the cash register.

So busy and happy!

B walked up and down this little bridge for about 10-15 minutes while I chatted with my friend Lisa. Lisa and I grew up together in Hillsboro and went to school K - 12 together. Her daughter, Brooke, is in Bennett's class. What are the odds?! So fun to reconnect with an old friend.

Hanging with some of the boys in class.

"Circle time" at the end of class where we sing songs outside.
