LiL Greaser!!!

I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this or not, but I'm not a fan of preschool/PreK and do not understand all of the rush to get kids into school these days.  Now, I realize & know first hand, that this step does help with the transition into kindergarten; however, I've also found out that it's not necessary!  If Colin wasn't needing all the "extra" help these days, I wouldn't be putting him through it, but I know he needs it and for that I do what we need to do.  With my feelings aside, let me tell you how Colin feels about school in 2 words....LOVES IT!  He has a blast, making friends, and is learning valuable things each and every day.  I'm amazed at the progress he is making!  The best part, is his little friends that he will carry on with into next years PreK class, then into Kindergarten, etc, etc.  We have been truly blessed with this group of kids, because they adore Colin!!  They know he's different, but they don't treat him any less; as a matter of fact, they treat him with the utmost respect.  They help him and make sure he is well taken care of.  As his mother, that does my heart good!  You never know these days how kids will act and to see the innocence at this young age is pretty spectacular.   Colin, has had a great year and has taken part in some fun events at the school and as school dwindles down, these last few weeks, he has a couple more fun things left in store.  Yesterday and Today, they had a 50s Fling, and he dressed up as a "Greaser"....boy, was he cute!  He was rocking the leather jacket, too!!  As much as I hate pushing him to grow up, looking at where we are today, I see that the best thing we could of done for him was sending him to preschool!
