He comes out of the car yelling at his Grandma about something (Gram picks him up and brings him home. There's no afternoon bus. I can't believe I talked my MOm into it!!!!)

How was your day?
He didn't want to talk about it, he had to go pee. LOL

Then he says "No fingers in your mouth is a rule dare, Mom!"
and boy is he mad about this one. Poor guy.

Then he talks about a girl that was crying, but that she got all better.

"Anything funny happen at school?"

A boy said poop and made everybody laugh, and the teacher didn't hear, and he didn't get in trouble. LMAO I have a feeling this boy was Eric. LOL Now I could be wrong, I'm sure Eric isn't the only boy that thinks poop is hillarious, but...
When he gets blood draws, shots, or scary stuff at the docs, I sing poopy, booby, funny songs to him to help him get through it, and latey there's been lot's of occasions for poopy silliness.:oops:
So I was sure to tell him that saying poopy, booby, pee pee, wiener, farts and all our silly funny words was against the rules at school and that his teacher wouldn't think it was funny, and he might get in trouble, and we have been working on it at home for a while, but we had a few draws in the mean time, so I got my rude little dude all confused :haha:

He brought a picture home and talked about story time and washing hands time, and bathroom time, and how to make a choo choo train and stay in line, and all that awesome preschool stuff that you love to hear about.

Then he talks about snack time "We had gram crackers, balanas, and chocolate juice! Mom I like chocolate juice! I Drank it gone!!!! Can I have more chocolate juice? I told the teacher I never had chocolate juice before and she laughed and said she was surprised. I tried it and I like it!"

Now I have a crabby guy that wants nothing to do with lunch and is hanging out in the living room pushing on his tummy.

Thanks for talking my guy into trying chocolate milk, and making me this terrible bad guy that always talks about how yucky chocolate is. I had the guy trained!!!! "I don't like chocolate."

Great!!!! Flippin' terrific chocolate and lactose!!!! The 2 biggest no no's on his SHORT BOLD PRINTED LIST!!!!!! URGH!!! :hairpull:
So...I guess the teacher and I need to have a talk AGAIN

He also told me that when he burped no one laughed they just said "ewwwwwwww"
He was worried about his burping at school (because of the booby poopy conversations)
I had told him to always remember to say excuse me (he's really good about it), and that it'd be no big deal and would probably make the kids giggle a bit. "You'll have the giggliest table at snack time." (insert foot...sigh...)

He was so disappointed that there were no giggles, and I bet embarrassed too. "Mom my burp wasn't gross!!! Why did they say 'ewwwww'? It's not gross to burp, right? I didn't fart. Why did they say 'ewwwwwwww'? " :sad5:

All in all though he's happy and wants to go back again and again, and really what more do you want outta preschool?

Well it's a good thing he's not deathly allergic to anything they might just try it for fun......gggrrr! I'd already be on that phone if I were you and they ahad strick orders for NO DAIRY!!!
But other than that sounds like a good first day even if the kids don't think burping is funny....give them time they will.....LOL:smt036

I can't believe they gave him Chocolate Milk! Your poor little guy! I sure hope he feels better soon! It seems like he had a pretty good day otherwise!

I am glad he had a good day, but I would be serioulsy p@##d abotu the chocolate milk. Sebastian's school goes a little over board. He was crying last week, cuz they would not let him have raisens, until I got there to say if it was ok. I have told them before that frits and veggies are fine, it is just the pkged stuff that they have to be sure to check, so I was a little annoyed that they made him cry over it, but I guess that is better then giving stuff he his not supposed to have!

I hope he keeps enjoying school!

WHEW!!
I called his teacher and he had berry juice.

What happened was Eric grabbed a chocolate milk out of the drink basket for himself and the teacher said "no you can't have chocolate milk, but you can have this" and handed him a cup of berry juice. She was laughing because he called it "chocolate juice."

She apologized and said that normally there will be 2 kinds of juice in the basket for him to choose from, but today there was only milk......BIG SIGH OF RELEIF!

I'm glad the chocolate juice turned out OK! Now here's my gripe: Eric told you more about preschool in one day than I heard from Daniel in two years!!!!

O.K. Becky, What you have to do is keep your baby sheltered from the world. Be a complete germophobe, No kids, just grown ups and a big sibling that's at least 8 years old. Only doctors appointments, and occasional trips to the park and/or grocery store allowed. Then cut them loose, and watch them explode with excitement that they aren't going somewhere to get a shot or buy broccoli. LOL :haha:
It worked for me!:haha:
