First Day of "School"

Connor had his first day of Discovery class this morning - an eight week program for kids who will start nursery school in the fall. The program is at La Jolla United Methodist Nursery School, about five minutes from our house. We are good friends with several of the folks who will have kids starting the fall, and several others are acquaintances from around town. The Discovery class is for the toddler and a parent to attend together, and was lots of fun with circle time, singing, art projects, snack time and unstructured play both inside and out. In September, when the actual nursery school program starts, Connor will attend by himself two days/week for 2.5 hours each time.

Earlier this week when we were at the beach chasing seagulls and collecting rocks Connor looked up at me with those big blue eyes and said, "Mommy, where do rocks come from?" I said "from the earth," but realized that I need to brush up on my geology before the more complicated questions come. I think our little man will be ready for school in the fall!
