I'm the Mom,.......

........so I'm always right. Or, in this case, a little bit right. Noah is going to preschool for one more year - we decided to wait until he turns 6 next summer to start kindergarten. His class this year is probably 70/30 girls/boys, the teachers are more structured than last year, he goes three days in a row as opposed to two, and he doesn't have a buddy that he beelines for yet. So, all that to say, he's not a huge fan of preschool. Doesn't mind it, but isn't whoo-hoo excited about going every day. We've talked a few times about getting used to new things, introducing himself to a new person every day, etc, etc. Standard Mom advice.

After I picked him up today, he and I were playing on the floor and he started talking about his friend "Andrew" that he has started playing with. He looked at me, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "I guess you were a little bit right about preschool. I kind of like it now."

What a glowing endorsement. I'm hoping that it only gets better as the years go on. It has to, right? He WILL think I'm amazing and wonderful when he's a teenager........

okay, so I accidently typed in thehowardfive.blogspot.com instead of just howardfive.blogspot.com and your blog came up. I am totally shocked!!! My name is Tiffany Howard and we also have 2 boys and a girl. How crazy is that.?!? Then, I realized that we have a mutual friend. I felt like I was probably going crazy and had to look twice. Anyway, you look like a great family, just wanted to let you know. Good to know there are good people representing all the Tiffany Howard's out there!! HA
