Mason's Firsts

Mason started preschool yesterday. We'd gone to the open house last week & he was very excited about it. When the time came to go, he got a bit nervous. He was a bit upset that his backpack was empty (what should have been in it?). I told him maybe he'd bring a frog home in it (his preschool is called A Leap Ahead Preschool & a frog is the symbol).
He did not want his picture taken, so I took this & showed it to him. He decided it would not be so bad to cooperate & have a better picture.

Here he is in his classroom. He had no problems with me leaving. At the end of class, Miss Cathie brought all the kids outside to the waiting moms. The first thing Mason said to me was "Mom, I have a frog!" Here it is.
Today Mason started gymnastics at the American Fork Rec Center. He'd watched Sarah take gymnastics & was thrilled that it was finally his turn. He loved the long trampoline, a little too much. The kids were to swing on the bar, bear walk across some bars, then jump down the trampoline, get off, & start all over again. Mason missed the get off part. He'd jump down to the end, then turn around, jump back to the start, then turn around & jump to the end again. It was really funny. He can't wait to go back next week!
