Aiden had his first day of preschool today at First Baptist in Castro Valley. He's been so excited about it and a little nervous. I was prepared for a tearful good by, but as we walked in he was so excited to see kids painting and playing with play-doh (2 forbidden things in our house) that he just wanted to jump right in! He gave me a kiss, said "By Mom," and that was it. When I picked him up he couldn't stop talking about the dinosaur book he found and that the slide shocked him and that a few boys were crying and he painted a picture for me. I wish I constantly record him talking because he has been saying the sweetest things. Last night I let him sleep with me because Joe was gone and I wasn't feeling good, so it was just easier to crawl into bed together and he looks at me and says, "mom, you're so pretty are ya?" He ends all his sentences with an "are ya," or "is it?" I think it's pretty adorable. And then at the dinner table I got him to try a spicy tamale and he told me it was good but it made his "teeth itchy."
