Mateo's First Day of Preschool

Today was Mateo's first day of preschool at St. Andrew's Child Development Center. He seemed so grown up walking into the building and to his classroom with his backpack - he didn't even want to hold our hands, just walk like a big boy by himself. I was so proud of how confident he was. Once in his classroom, he asked, "Mommy, are you going to stay here with me?" When I answered no, that he got to be at school with his teacher Ms. Mary, he was totally calm. "OK," he said.

After school, I asked Mateo what he learned. He wasn't quite sure how to answer that question. But this he did share - that he had played in the kitchen. "And Mommy, the kitchen is for boys, not for girls." I also asked him if they had read any books. "YES! But they didn't have Handy Manny, just Bob the Builder." Ok....? "And did your teacher ask you any questions? "Yes. Stay in the line! Stay in the line!" Ha! Classic.

So, all in all, Mateo had a great first day at preschool. We are so proud of him. Our little baby boy is growing up!
