there arose such a clatter

Today, is Henry's first day of preschool.

He'll be attending three mornings a week. We are very excited to be sending him, but also a little leery of how things will go.

At home, he spends the majority of his time chasing his siblings and roaring like a dinosaur. Of course the kids don't help the matter any, because they fuel the situation when they run away and yell, "Oh No! Here he comes!"

Whenever we're out, Henry will introduce himself to everyone he meets as "Buzz Wightyear. SPACE WANGER." And then he'll scream if they smile at him.

There's no doubt he could really benefit from social interaction. I just hope he doesn't go absolutely hysterical and create too much of a panic in his preschool class, today.

It's not like any of my children would ever do, that.

(Happy December!)

  10. I was poking around trying to find an email address to send this, but my computer and brain are not cooperating.

    The author of one of the blogs I read just delivered (less than 2 weeks ago) 28 week triplets. She is putting some feelers out for ideas on decorating the NICU for the holidays. If you have any suggestions, I'd love to send you a link to her blog - a voice of hope from someone who's been there/done that.

  15. Good luck, Henry. I love to read about Henry because he and my son are the same age. My son also roars like a dinosaur at any moment - especially when I wish he wouldn't - and it's nice to know that he's not the only kid who does that. It's a stage.... right?! please say it's a stage... :)
