Graham's day at school...

Graham had school this morning and he did a fantastic job! Sharing is a completely foreign concept for toddlers, especially when they're 'only' children, but Graham did a fantastic job today! Not only did he take turns and share toys, but he followed the teachers directions, patiently waited his turn to wash his hands (last week he decided he didn't want to wait and moved himself to the front of the line), and politely asked for more oranges during snack time by using the appropriate sign. I was one proud Mommy!

I do have one funny school story to share...at the beginning of each class, we all sit in a circle for a few songs. "The Wheels on the Bus" is a favorite of most kids this age, and today Graham REALLY got into it. During the phrase "The babies on the bus go up and down, up and down, up and down"....Graham would throw his hands into the air and scream "Up Up Up" when we did the motion for the babies going up. Of course when he realized that we were all watching him really "feel" the music, he began to clap for himself!

Since I forgot my camera on Graham's first day last week, here are a few pictures from today.

Using polite manners at snack time...again, notice his good friend Abby to his left

I have a feeling my child was the ringleader for this activity. The little sink is quite the novelty, and I'm pretty sure Graham pushed the bathroom door open, thus allowing he and his little friends free reign of the soap and water. They had quite the system going. Evie, the little girl with the pink bow in her hair, was pumping liquid soap into all their hands, and Abby (to Graham's left) was controlling the water. Judging by the position of Will (the blond boy) I'm convinced he was acting as the lookout. Then there's Graham...I think he was just enjoying himself!
