"Yes. It is fun, Papa."
"Where am I going today?"
"It not a long time, Mama."
We have a new man is the house. One who loves preschool! Our previous experience with "school" in Brisbane makes it almost unbelieveable the above comments were made by Jackson in regards to school. We are so happy for him that he had such a great time attending a summer camp at the preschool he will begin attending this fall the past two weeks. (Especially his "nerdy" mom -- referred to by Drew -- who still wishes she could be in school.) We knew this day would come, and are so glad he now says goodbye with smiles and kisses instead of tears. (Although how I may have a different issue -- on the last day of camp it was Maeve who started crying when Jackson left us. She -- always believing she is older than she really is -- seems to think she is ready for school at 15 months.)
Jackson may just be turning a corner as he also the past week to go to swimming lessons, ran at full speed over to a neighbor's for a play date on his own, and jumped onstage at a kids' concert without any encouragement. All this just confirms that with Jackson, he is ready when he is ready. So we remind ourselves to wait, be patient and let him enjoy life at his pace. In the meantime, we are just loving the new art by Jackson school is delivering!
