Soren is in his first and only year of non-home preschool. He is a butterfly at BVPS where his siblings all attended, but with a new director and teachers. It was a bit strange for me to be so familiar with a place and program that I'd consider myself an old timer, and still be a newbie. Soren was very nervous at the open house and first day, but is adjusting now. I'm not surprised by his lack of enthusiasm over school. As much as he loves being like the big kids, Soren is happy to have a lot of time alone. He doesn't always love a lot of in-your-face-ness...which is the only way I rolled for years. He's content to stay home and have some quiet creative time. All this kid needs is a pen and scratch paper to be entertained.
We've been joining the neighborhood gang of 3-4 year old boys out on the island a couple mornings a week for a play date and Soren really enjoys being with peers. I think he will thrive in his new school. The curriculum at BVPS is play based and provides a lot of time to interact and run around with friends. Today, I sent a dozen donuts to share at snack time for his birthday. Donuts are his jam. He came home witha Birthday crown, a chocolate frosted face, and a smile.
Congrats on your first week of school, Soren!
