Ben's last day of Pre-School

today was Ben's last day of pre-school and last night we wrote thank you notes for all of his teachers. There are five that I know of so I pulled out five sheets of paper and let him draw a picture then he told me his favorite thing about each one and I wrote it down. When we were done he said "Mom, we are not done. You forgot Miss Penny!" Okay! I guess but I don't know who Miss Penny is. I have never met her and her name is not on the weekly newsletter but if he says there is a Miss Penny and we need to write her a letter too who am I to say no?!... Well we got to school and I handed the letters to Miss Emily, she looked and them and then asked me "who is Miss Penny?" I don't know, Ben's favorite teacher I guess. Oh dear! my son's imaginary friend is a pre-school teacher. It could be worse at least she is teaching him something right. As for the other five he loved them too. This school has been great at improving his social skills and all the teachers were really great to work with. I wish we could keep him there for next year but I really feel like he will learn more at a normal pre-school. This pre-school was for challenged kids both mental and physical. Ben and his little friend Madeline have been a few of the "peers" attending the school to help teach interaction with different individuals. It has been great but he is ready to move on and be more challenged academically. When he got in the car after pre-school I asked him if he was sad to leave. He said no because he was excited to start his new school next week. Man this summer really flew by fast.
