Pray for the Goldfish

We had our "meet the teacher" session yesterday to help Little Man be more comfortable when he starts his 2 day a week school next Thursday. In theory he was very excited but in actual practice it took a little coaxing to get him in the door. But once in the door he was fascinated by all of the toys that he could play with. He flitted from one area to the next, putting baby dolls to bed, playing with airplanes, making pizza for Mrs. H. He loved the class pets (2 goldfish) so much that he picked up the large glass bowl and tried to carry them across the room causing me to jump up to try to rescue them and Mrs. H calmly with tons of teacherly love say "well Little Man, hold on tight to them". He proved his love for the goldfish, his crazy 2 year old strength and his potential to harm any class pet. The good news is that it took a lot more work to get him to leave than it did to get him to go in and again, in theory, he is looking very forward to school next week. I foresee a few tears next week, I am not sure if it will be him, me or the class pets in tears!
