1 year down, 20 something years to go

Time really does fly!  Jonah's last day of preschool was last week and we had a fun time celebrating with him.  He loved preschool this year.  It took some adjusting to but he learned a lot and enjoyed his first year of school.  To end the year, the kids put on a program for the parents and sang songs and took us through their typical day at school.  Jonah seems to be quite popular with the girls in his class.  One minute he loved the attention and the next, he was telling them to back off!  It was certainly entertaining to see him interact with everyone.

Goofing off before the program starts.




I pledge allegiance...

This was hilarious.  There was one song about thunder and lighting that he hated because it was scary.  He looked like he was on the verge of tears the entire song.  As soon as the next song came on, he was back to his full-mouthed, grinning self.

Skitta marinky dinky dink, skitta marinky doo, I Love You! (Jon and I were both getting teary-eyed during his singing.)


The following day was field day.  The kids played tug of war, had a sack race, road the train, ran through an obstacle course, and decorated visors.  Sophie enjoyed the activities just as much as Jonah did!  One thing we discovered about Jonah is his competitive nature.  We've seen it at home with his sister and some friends but it was even more apparent watching him participate in these games.  Things didn't always end happily for him, which resulted in a small tantrum about how he didn't win.  (Jon and I both confessed our similar behavior as kids.  No wonder he is the way he is.)

This site quickly turned to...

 this one.  Panic, horror, frustration that he wasn't winning. (It makes me giggle)


Daddy and Sophie had their own events for the day.




Here is a picture of Jonah and Ms. Dayna.

That's as close to a smile as he was going to get.
