Preschool is kicking somebody’s ass

The Boy is in his second week now and the transition has been smooth as silk. None of the “issues” parents are warned about. He doesn’t seem to miss his favorite playmate from daycare and every day when we pick him up, he’s usually playing actively with a bunch of other kids his age. One time he was explaining something to two peers, complete with whiplash facial expressions and explanatory arm gestures.

The thing is, he’s having so much fun, and they don’t force kids his age to take naps, by the time he gets home he pretty much just wants to be fed, watch some TV and fall asleep at 7 p.m. mellowing out to groovy tunes in the easy chair in my office.
