Davis is loving preschool. Loving it. He goes off happily and comes home full of things to share. The hilarious song they sing at circle time about someone with a daughter named Wednesday. The way they sing the Alphabet song all sorts of ways, backwards and fast and slow. Always, who brought snack and what it is and who is VIP and who has Squirt. He looks forward to the next day.
But I'm realizing that the 30 minutes of outside time he enjoys at preschool is not enough. When he is home, he typically gets much more exercise than that, and I can tell the difference on school days. When we get home for lunch, he's antsy and ready to wrestle and burn off some of that I've-been-in-a-happy-but-structured-environment-for-the-last-three-hours. He ends up pushing Zoe and getting in trouble right away, which is not a fun way to come home, for him, or for me. I've missed him all morning and I'm excited to reconnect with my boy, not discipline him!
Therefore, we're finagling our schedule so that we are going to stay after school to picnic and play on the playground or head from school right to the park with our bikes to picnic and ride. Hopefully, that will give him a chance to burn off some of this energy and get all the exercise he needs- and now that the weather is getting cooler, it should be fun for all of us!
