Orientation

Today was preschool orientation. It was supposed to be for just Stellan and the other 3 year olds but I had no one to watch Jameson so he got to tag along. I lost the paper with the information that told me when to arrive so I had to wing it. I figured that it would start at 9:30 since that is when school starts. I pulled into the parking lot about 9:25. The lack of other vehicles should have been my first clue. I walked in with the boys and ran into the preschool coordinator. She confirmed that it was orientation day but it didn't start until 10. Okee dokee. We headed out to the van and went for a drive. I was going to take them to McDonald's to play in the play land but I didn't have any socks for them and wasn't about to let them go barefoot. So we drove and looked at houses. I like doing it, the kids tolerated it.
We got back to the school and a packed parking lot just before 10. Jameson needed to poo so the washroom was our first pit stop. I still need to work on getting him to wipe himself....
On the way in I had to remind the kids that they were only allowed to walk. Then I asked them, "What are you going to do in preschool?" Jameson responded, "Play, share, be nice". So cute! Stellan just looked at me blankly. He'll figure it out one day, hopefully soon.
We headed into Stellan's classroom where there were many cute little kids and just as many parents. Quite a full room. The boys immediately started playing with the trains, what else. They eventually wondered over to the play dough and the painting centres.
We didn't get to stay long since we had to head to the pediatrician for the well-child visits. Stellan was not too pleased when we had to leave and started to through a small fit. I explained that I would tell Mrs. Browne that he wasn't ready for school if that was the way he was going to act. That quickly put a stop to the behaviour. :)
