On Our Way to Preschool, Homework and the Library Card

On the days I take my son to preschool, I always go over the same rules (so poor guy hears this three times per week for the time he started preschool at 3).

Today, we were running late, about the exact same spot where I always remind him about the rules, my son jumped in and listed the rules.

He said, "I need to listen to my teachers. Be nice to my teachers and friends. Share with my teachers and friends. I need to do art activities, and I know I will do a good job."

I smiled. I told him, "Very good my cutie-pie!"

Today, my son got his first homework as a four year old preschooler. He will be working writing his name (he already knows the letters and recognizes them) and letters. We will be working with him this weekend.

While I was at the library, I updated my library card, and then I asked the librarian if my son was old enough to get his library card. She said he was as long as I understood that I, the parent, would take full responsibilities for overdue books and so forth. I got my son a library card.

I told him about it. He was excited. Tomorrow, I will show it to him. I didn't have a chance today because we were getting caught up with household activities.
