Graduation

Amiri officially started preschool today!  There were some tears of insecurity this morning, but he calmed down quickly.  His teachers told me that he was a very good boy today: sleeping well, eating well, going potty, interacting nicely.  They were very impressed with his spelling ability, as well.  (His spelling list includes 'Amiri' and 'kiwi'.)  When I arrived to pick him up, he was sitting at the table and listening to his teacher explain about waves in the ocean.  Apparently, there is a more defined curriculum for the older kids.

The only bad thing about him graduating is that he had to leave his friend behind.  He has become very close friends with a little girl in the Toddler room.  Holly has blond ringlets and just turned two--she's adorable and tiny, and Amiri is very gentle with her.  Amiri made sure to say goodbye to her tonight.  Maybe she'll graduate soon too.
