day one: breathing room

some people call it preschool, daycare, babysitting...whatever. it's really time for mommy to take a breath and aidan to have different faces to see and voices to hear. so far so good.

conversation in the car after i picked him up (after first ignoring me on the playground, then throwing a tantrum that he had to leave day one of preschool):
-did you play? yes.
-what did you play? with the toys.
-did you play with the kids? yes.
-did you get to have a snack? yes!
-what did you have? orange juice mommy. i drank it really, really fast.
-oh, yeah? did you have anything else? ummmm. beer.
-really, you had beer for a snack? yes (then falls into hysterics when he realizes i think his answer is humorous)

this says way too much about our home life. i told john he needs to stop having aidan fetch his beers out of the mini-fridge.

obligitory "first day of school photo taken on the front stoop" ... i think this photo is really meant for the first day of kindergarten, but we did it anyway ...
