We went to the little animal park yesterday with some other parents & kids (first day of holidays & we already were meeting up for mutual support). There were some very cute fluffy chicks which reminded me of something funny LM said a few days ago on the subject. We must have seen some chicks somewhere as he turned round to me and said "Our chickens won't have chicks will they? We need a cockatoo for that" It made me smile and, on reflection, he could be on to something - a cockerel that actually says "Cock-a-doodle-doo" instead of crowing at some ungodly hour of the morning!

Parents Evening
Despite knowing that for a 3 1/2 year old, parents evening was never going to be that bad, I still felt apprehensive sat in front of 2 'teachers' from preschool. What if they told me LM was a monster with no discipline and that it was ALL MY FAULT! It didn't help that LM hadn't been that day because he had got really worked up about going (he said that someone hit him but turns out that when he wrestles his BF he doesn't like it as he doesn't come out on top) and I'd left a garbled message on their answer machine.
I should have known they would have nothing but nice things to say about him, not least because it's preschool & how hard can it be for LM to knuckle down & play? It's not like he's going to fail at that. Still, being sat in front of a desk was daunting.
What was nice, was getting a sneaky peak at how he is when we're not around. Their file on LM (how very CIA) was full of photos of him playing happily, with aforementioned BF mostly, and generally taking part in loads of fun activities, including visits from a whole menagerie of animals. Rocky the Raccoon rocks btw.
Keen to show how good I though preschool was for LM (extra days please!) I mentioned how much more independent & confident he had become since starting as evidenced this evening when instead of his usual "Off! Off!" that constituted his idea of telling someone off, he turned round and said "Come ON Daddy! You don't have time to mess around!"
