1st Day of Pre-K

Yesterday Brady started pre-K at NGCC.  He is now dropped off upstairs in the Kindergarten room with the computers in a mixed age group then moves over to his primary classroom K.  He was a little under the weather this weekend with runny nose and cough, so we have been giving him breathing treatments (BTs), trying to keep him hydrated, and making sure he gets enough sleep.  So far it hasn't developed into more.  When we asked him how his day went in pre-K we got the usual "good" then off to some distraction.  He already knows this teacher - Ms Lauren - as most sub +/- an age group when another teacher goes out on vacation or illness.  And we think Ms Lauren is one of his favorites as she drives a 1970s T-top corvette and let's the kids climb in from time to time.

Parker will stay in the Toddler room until March of next year when he moves to preschool.  However all the kids were welcomed back for the fall school year and he got in on the celebration.

Brady (age 4) and Parker (age 2) have some similarities and differences in their preferences.  For food a joint favorite is fish sticks, chicken tenders, applesauce, and bananas.  However Brady loves yogurt and baked beans (not together) and Parker loves rice.  Both boys enjoying running and wrestling, but Brady prefers quiet time watching cartoons while Parker will play with matchbox cars.  Parker will copy all of Brady's actions, and Brady will want whatever toy Parker is playing with.  Parker is already doing somersaults on the couch cushions and we have to buy two of any toy.  We have split the boys up from time to time giving them each an opportunity to sleep over at the grandparents house.  When we do this Brady always asks about Parker and definitely misses him.  Parker seems to forget about Brady but always gives him a huge hug when he returns, his 2yr old memory is shorter.  It's fun to see their personalities and love for each other grow as they grow older.

We are enjoying them all we can now while they are young, tomorrow they will be in Kindergarten and Preschool!
