Third Week of Preschool

It was my day to parent help at Cooper's preschool today. Cooper woke up and the first thing he asked, "is it your day to wear the blue mask at preschool Mommy?" Parent helpers wear a blue apron and he has been asking me for two weeks when it will be my turn. He was so excited to have me there and help us set up the school this morning.
As a parent helper you are basically a teacher that day. Everyday there are three parent helpers and Teacher Anette. Right now we have one extra in the class to learn the ropes with their mentor family. We rotate positions so I helped in the morning with the art project and finished the day outside.
I had a lot of fun watching how the day goes and watching Cooper. He didn't hang out near me the whole day but did spend some time with me doing art and playing outside. I was impressed with his independence, I wasn't sure how he would be.
Cooper got to wear a blue apron also because his mom was a parent helper and he was super excited about that too.
It was a great day, I loved being there!


Here's a picture of Cooper this afternoon after his haircut.
