Henry started preschool last week. He is attending Burlingame Cooperative Preschool two mornings a week. The first day was a little rough - he cried when he thought I'd left (I was actually just in another room), and so I ended up staying nearly the entire day. The second day was better - I still stayed for a while, but was gone for about 2 hours. I'm crossing my fingers that tomorrow I will just be able to drop him off and go. We'll see! Adding preschool to our weekly schedule has caused quite a shift in our activities and sleep habits. Henry is still doing his speech therapy and also taking gymnastics at the Little Gym...so we have a pretty busy schedule.
Coming up is Henry's 4th birthday - I can hardly believe it! His latest obsession is superheros, so I'm trying to plan his parties around that theme. He's going to have a little party with his friends at the Little Gym and also a family party at our house.
It's the middle of March and we have snow! So much snow, in fact, that Henry's school was cancelled on Thursday! We got up and headed outside and went for a long walk and played in the snow for more than an hour. Luckily we did that first thing in the morning, because by noon the snow was gone. But we enjoyed it while it lasted!
Henry got a book from the library called "Dim Sum For Everyone" and for whatever reason fell in love with it. We read it every day (at least once) for a week. So I asked him if he wanted to go get some dim sum and this past Sunday we did just that. Unfortunately, I think the real life dim sum didn't live up to what he imagined it would be. It took quite a bit of coaxing to get him to try a bite of different items and he didn't care for any of them....not even the coconut pudding squares he had been most looking forward to. Oh well! At least he got to have the dim sum experience with the carts coming around and picking plates off of them. Below is a picture of the book and one of the dishes from the book on top of it.
