Mommy & Me Preschool!

Today, Connor and I started 'You & Me Preschool' at BUMPS in Brea.  It far exceeded my expectations of learning, exploring, playing, and socializing, and Connor absolutely loved it!  I loved the organization abilities of the teacher and her nice, extremely patient attitude!  Teaching and interacting with 2 year olds can be tough!   

Connor was very excited to go to "preschool" and loved everything from packing his sippy cup in his backpack to arriving and hugging his teacher.  He was able to play with a variety of toys; from trains, to animals, baby dolls, tools, painting, puzzles, trucks, doctor kits, blocks, etc.  As he roamed the classroom playing he just got more excited and more involved.  The kids were then gathered in a circle for music time where there teacher, Miss Kathy, sang songs with a guitar and then dismissed everyone to outside play. 

There outside area is even more amazing and I am so proud of Connor for telling me he needed to go potty in the midst of all the action!  (because I forgot a pull-up and/or extra clothes in case of an accident!)  Outside they have play houses, swings, playgrounds, sand boxes, water play....pretty much a kids dream!

After outside play all the kids sat at the table to snack time and scarfed down goldfish, bananas, yogurt, and pretzels!  All the playing definitely made them hungry.  After snack we got to play with a parachute and the kids got to pretend they were "ponies" and gallup around.  Haha-  This was definitely one of Connor's highlights of the day!  I think he's still pretending to be a pony.
I'm so happy that we decided to do this program.  It's once a week for 2 1/2 hours (which is kind of exhausting for Mom!) and gives Connor such a great jump on sharing, learning, and playing in a group!  Great job Connor! :)  <3
