Guillermo, Maya and I printed calendars last week so we could begin the countdown to school. Guillermo starts Wednesday with kindergarten orientation and his first full day is Thursday. Maya starts a week later.
Guillermo is starting to get a little more excited and when he marked off another day on his calendar this morning he happily declared "Yay! Three more days until kindergarten!" I'm so glad he is excited.
Friday night we met Guillermo's teacher and the teacher's aide and checked out his classroom. He seemed to like both teachers and the class, as did Maya, who quickly found some lego-type blocks that are likely used for counting and starting playing with them. The daughter of a friend of mine had Guillermo's teacher last year and loved her. I hope Guillermo does, too.
On Saturday, Maya had her second playgroup with her preschool class. She was really shy the first time, opting to explore the park only with me. Yesterday, she was her normally bubbly self and talked to one of her teachers, the director and tried to make friends, especially with anyone who wanted to help her sell mulch ice cream, which by the way is delicious when served by your 3 year old.
