The First day of Pre-School

This morning Kelt was up bright and early, at 5:55, dressed in his uniform and ready for his first day at preschool. So eager and ready to learn. Every five minutes he was asking me how much longer it would be till we left the house. I made him, his favorite, Rice Pudding for breakfast, and he loved it. After breakfast we were sitting on the couch and I was asking him questions about how he would act at school. If he would raise his hand when the teacher asked a question, if he would be nice to the other boys and girls and make good choices. I was sitting there with Creed on my lap and as I looked at him I couldn't believe how big of a boy Kelt has become. I almost started crying. He took his lunch out of the fridge and we were on our way.
At school we checked in with Aunite Elsie and made our way to Class Room #1. There we met Mrs. Feather (who kelt now tells me that he loves). He watched the fishes with Nohea for a few minutes then decided that he wanted to put together a puzzle with the other kids. He picked out a colorful puzzle of South America. I told him that I would have to go in a few minutes and he wanted me to stay. About 45 seconds later he said "Mom I'm ready for you to go now." I walked to the car with one less child.
When I got home from my walk I got a call from Anna, the Preschool Director. At first I couldn't figure out if she was calling all the parents on the first day or if Kelt had done something. Come to find out he had been stung by a Whasp on the playground. She just wanted me to know before I got there. When I arrived he was playing a matching game with a new friend. He didn't cry about the Whasp until I asked him about what had happened.
He is going to love going to school he is already ready to go back fro another day!

Trying to Walk my Butt off!

For the last 4 weeks my friend and I have been walking every day! We average 4-6 miles per day, pushing 4-5 children up an steady incline. It is quite a workout! You should see some of the looks we get and hear some of the comments. Some not so nice like "There is the cause of world hunger there!" But we keep going. We have now reached 90 miles!!
