Picture Day

Thomas' school had picture day a couple weeks ago. I dressed him up in cute clothes and sent him on his way hoping for good results. When I picked him up that day, I asked him if he'd smiled pretty for his pictures. He said, very emphatically I might add, "No no no no no!" Well, we got to look at the pictures today and he was right. There were 15 sheets of pictures and he's not smiling in a single picture. Even though I was disappointed, I had to laugh because he told me he wasn't going to smile that day.

Just a word about Thomas' school, it's not really school, it's a Mother's Day Out program he attends twice a week. In our house, however, it's always referred to as school. It's a good program. He has Spanish once a week and he already knows all the Spanish words I know. They do lots of neat things for the kids like having a petting zoo and tractor train come out one day and next week a fire truck is coming to school. Thomas can't wait for that. David is off this week and went with me to take him to school this morning. I think for him it only reinforced all the good things I'd been telling him about Thomas' school when he watched his son run into his classroom without looking back. He's learning AND he's having fun. Can't beat that combination!
