What fun it was to do songs and puppets at Miles’ preschool today!  I was definitely in my comfort zone, and Miles did a great job sharing his Gramma and Papa with his friends.

Here is Rags meeting the kids.

We did a snowman song and the kids were acting out the snowmen with their funny hats.

My husband is our guest photographer today and shot the above photos at the preschool.  He did a good job, didn’t he?

At the end of the day, Miles earned a sticker for following directions.

We drove Miles home and he proudly showed his mama the beautiful Thanksgiving decoration he made.

Two boys- one having fun at home, one having fun at preschool!

Henry had his first experience with my puppet apron this morning while his brother and mama were at preschool.  This relic from my preschool teaching days when my own children were small has five pockets, each with a puppet which goes along with a song.  At Henry’s age, Miles would sit quietly and do all the motions with each song.  We knew this wouldn’t be the case with Henry the whirlwind.  He loved the puppets- but especially loved taking them in and out of the pockets (Nite-nite, monkeys!).  Here he is playing with Mr. Frog.

It was all about Henry, while Miles was at preschool this morning.

And Henry playing Row Your Boat with Papa-

Today is Miles’s first day of preschool for the year.  Here he is checking out his hair.

His mama is the preschool director, so it was her first day too.  And it’s her birthday!

After they left for school, it was Henry’s turn at the sink.  Brushing his teeth comes second only to washing his hands as his current favorite activity to do ALL MY HIMSELF.
