A day of firsts

Hello world! I've been toying with the idea of starting a blog for some time now. Admittedly, my family alone provides enough fodder to fill VOLUMES of internet posts (as those who follow my facebook page already know). But somehow committing to an actual blog seemed far beyond the comprehension of my ADD brain...and somewhat scary!

Soooooooo....here goes nothing!

Today was a day of firsts. My first blog post, our neighbor's first day with central air (I know this because I am home all day and have become somewhat of a neighborhood snoop), but most importantly, it was Gavin's first day of Preschool!

I don't why I was expecting differently, but he took to preschool just like anything else in life: with complete and total reckless abandon. I don't even think he looked up when he yelled 'bye mom' from the across the room when I left him this morning. He was already completely immersed, and I had yet to leave the room.

I got home and went about my daily activities, waiting for 5:00 to pick him up and hear about his first day. Boy, did I get an earful! He blabbered the whole ride home about whom he played with and what they played, and the names of his teachers and how he is in the 'Caterpillar' group, even though he wishes he was in the 'Butterfly' group because they are 5 years old and his buddy Easton is in that group....

His verbal skills continue to amaze me, expecially when they can be so randomly accurate. At the dinner table tonight he told us: "I'm glad I go to Preschool now, because daycare is so lame".

Yep, that's my boy!
