Tomorrow is the big day that my three year old starts preschool.  He’s very excited to go to school and I’m very excited for him too.  My one worry is that he won’t listen or he will act up.  He can be a good child, but he is three… enough said!  He’s a smart child and I almost passed on the opportunity to put him in this preschool because their curriculum wasn’t as challenging as I’d like for him.  They learn their capital letters, colors, and shapes throughout the year, all of which my son knows.  I then realized that there are so many things he can get from preschool beyond shapes and colors.  He will be around other kids and they will be teaching about the four seasons, talking to strangers, fire safety, etc.  These are all things my son isn’t familiar with and then the number one reason, it’s a church preschool!  We believe in God but don’t go to church so I’ve been worried my son won’t get to learn about God.  His preschool makes a point of focusing on God in a way three year olds can understand.  Tomorrow it the start of a new adventure and also a great opportunity for me to shop without finding extra things in my cart!
