Preschool and Cleats and Drums

My big boy four year old is in preschool this year! It's a preschool that is a part of a gymnastics facility, so the kids get to learn their ABC's and 123's and also get to jump and tumble around =). Spencer is liking it, and doing well...although, after his 2nd day, Dave asked him what his favorite part about preschool was, and this was his reply - "Not listening. (pause) Not listening and not sitting down." Those teachers have their work cut out for them!

Riding the "train" (bench) out side the classroom with his friend and neighbor, Breanne. It's fun to already have a friend in his class!

Watching through the window, getting ready to play in the gymnastics room!

Dave loves soccer. So when Spencer was born, Dave bought some kid size soccer cleats in the smallest size he could find. I knew it would be years before Spencer could wear them...but the time has finally come that Spencer can wear them! (They're a little big, but that's alright). He loves them, and wants to wear them everywhere. We gotta get this kid on a little soccer team!

The last Spencer story of the day is about drums. For the last several months Spencer has had a facination with and a love for drums. I think the Imagination Movers and the Doodlebops have something to do with it. (If you don't know who I am talking about, refer to Playhouse Disney.) He recently has created his own drum set, which he plays with much vigor and gusto while he watches the aforementioned groups on TV. He even told me he wants to be a drummer when he grows up. He better not start practicing with real drums until he is 18 and moves out of the house.

Yes, those are canned goods, plus a mayonaise jar, a jar of peaches, a jar of peanut butter, a pumpkin bucket upside down, another upside down bucket, and finally an actual drum we got in India. He adds to this set pretty much everyday.
