Adventures in Learning

Huston has been at his new school for about 2 weeks now and he still absolutely loves it.  I used to use the term "school" loosely, since they were more daycare than school.  This one is so amazing though and he is learning so much.  We decided to move him so he'd be closer to home while I was on maternity leave.  Since it will be winter when baby Nolan arrives, we wanted him to still be able to go a couple days a week to get interaction and keep him from going stir crazy cooped up all week.

It's turning out to be the best decision ever.  The name alone is a perfect fit - Adventures in Learning - because everything is an adventure to Huston lately!  It is a Christian based daycare and all of the teachers have been there for 10+ years.  Huston loves his teacher Ms. Emilie (Ms. Memmilee).

So far he has come home reciting the pledge, a prayer before eating and saying "Hallelujah!".  They do crafts and art time almost every day and my stack of keepsakes is growing out of control.  Once the Fall curriculum starts they will do karate, spanish, music and art.  Today they colored a little kid and where they should apply sunscreen to not get burned.  On the way home I told him that splash day was tomorrow and we'd have to pack his swimsuit.  Very seriously he said, "We'll need to apply sunscreen".  ::cuteness::

Probably the biggest sign that he loves his new school is....he doesn't want to leave when I pick him up.  I still get the run up hug and "mommy, mommy" but then he's off again and I have to drag him out.

Another perk is he gets to see his (third) cousin Parker daily.  They are in different rooms but at the beginning of the day when they are combined and on playtimes they get to catch up.  When I dropped him off the other day, Parker said, "Huston we need to build a castle!"  They are so cute together.
