Zane: Pre-K

The start of last week was pretty hard on Zane, seeing his brother go off to school Tuesday and Wednesday. He wanted to go to school, too! Instead, he had 2 days of very short Zoom meetings with his class in the afternoon.

I have tried to keep him busy in the mornings while I work. He has enjoyed coloring, then cutting up the page with scissors and then vacuuming up the mess - haha! He also normally takes a bath and plays outside for a bit (the office window is right over our driveway so I can hear him and keep an eye on him).  Thursday was the hardest day to keep him entertained though. He woke up asking when he gets to go to school. I told him he would not go until after lunch. Know what he asked next? "Can I have lunch?" Haha! In his mind, once he ate lunch, he could go to school!

 

He got dressed in his new dino shirt and tried on (then cleaned out) his backpack. I had to basically take his backpack away from him for the morning so he would leave it alone! He took a bubble bath and rode his bike in the rain to help kill some time. 

Finally - he got to eat lunch, we fixed his hair in a mohawk and then we were off!

The whole way to school he talked about how the rain was going to mess up his hair. I assured him it would not. Thankfully, the teachers on duty had umbrellas and we asked them nicely if they would cover Zane with one, so his hair would not be a mess :) Good thing most of them know (and love) Zane!
