Great Job, Little Dude!

He's done it!!  Michael has completed his first year of preschool ....without permanently scarring himself, his teachers, his classmates, or the school!  In all seriousness, it has been fantastic to see Michael blossom this year, with the help of his teachers and classmates.  He started the year clinging to us, shying away from his classmates, and wearing a pull-up.  He now happily recognizes circle time, relishes in goofing off with his buddies, and knows how important it is to tell his teachers when he has to use the potty.  Yes, he still has a major problem with the fire alarms scattered throughout the school.  (We guess one of his fire drills really stuck in that imaginative mind of his.)  But, otherwise, he happily went about his every Wednesday at good, ol' AUMC.  And, don't even ask Traci how sad she is that she is losing the one day of the week where she actually got time to herself....  Anyway, to celebrate, we took Michael out to the restaurant of his choosing (Red Robin) this evening.  He does still get to go in Tuesday afternoon for a show/ice cream party, so hopefully we'll get some more hilarious "Michael stoically refusing to participate" video.  Great job, Little Dude!
