Big Boy

Look at this big boy:
He made the move to the little pre-k classroom this morning. He is so excited to be in the big boy room with new books, harder puzzles, and more balls. For the first time in his three years there, he also has a new teacher, Miss Nancy. She was Issa's teacher, too, which is about the only thing that is getting this mama through. Miss Shirley has been his teacher since he was three months old, but we all decided it was probably time for a change. She can't go to kindergarten with this group, and this seemed like a nice break.

Evan did want to give her a little something to celebrate. Per usual, we followed his lead. His first choice was a huge fire station set. We convinced him that maybe a small fire engine would meet that need, and he chose a candle to go with it. He also wrapped it in Christmas light paper. It's bright and colorful and sometimes I just don't argue. He was proud, and the gift was heartfelt.

He's officially a big boy. Be still my heart.
