[blparent] What Kids Bring Home From Preschool

[Veronica Smith]

Oh cool, legs cross, hand in lap is called crisscross applesauce and they do
that at all pre-schools.  G used to say her favorite time was snack time and
gluing or taping.  She still loves those subjects. Ha ha, I'm glad Sarah is
having fun.

Subject: [blparent] What Kids Bring Home From Preschool

Hi.  Sarah had her first week of preschool.  It was a little hard on Mom,
not knowing what she was doing at any given time, but I guess that's all in
the game.

The first thing Sarah brought home from preschool was a stuffy nose and a
cough.  It doesn't seem to be too bad, but it sure did happen quick.

The second thing Sarah brought home from preschool was phrases I would have
rather she didn't pick up, one of them being "d**n garbage."  So I told her
she had to leave the bad words in her bedroom where nobody else would hear
them.

And the third thing she brought home was laughs for me.  The first day, she
walked in the door and said, "Mom, I'm da man!"  The next time she came
home, I asked her what she had for lunch at preschool, and she said, "Um,
pine cones, but no beans."

I couldn't get much out of her about what she played or did, just little
bits.  She told me how the teachers said to sit, cross-legged with her hands
in her lap.  She said the teacher told her to put her arms down and keep
them there, which leads me to believe she was touching other kids.  She said
the teacher told her to sit down and eat, and she said she was done, so the
teacher told her to go sit down anyway.  And that was about it.  She goes
two mornings a week, four hours each.
