St. Paul's Program

Nathan started St. Paul's this year in January.  He was there for just a couple of weeks before his buddy Jackson joined the same class.  Him and Jackson hit it off, once more, and Nathan even made a new friend, Chase.  He said he like Chase as his friend because Chase liked dinosaurs and swords.  What more is there to look for in a friend when you're a 4-year-old boy?

I would say the year was a success.  He did well in class.  Learned lots.  But seemed to find every reason under the sun to NOT go to school 2 times/week.  His name card was white and he wanted it to be green.  Circle time takes too long.  The teachers don't let you run around with sticks so you can pretend they're swords.

He survived.  Learned lots.  Made a new friend.  And now has a school to call his own.

The end of the year program was cute.  It was all the kids dressed up and acting out Nursery Rhymes.  Nathan, Jackson and another guy were Three Men in a Tub.  Better known as: the Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick maker.

Shall I refresh your memory?

Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
All put out to sea.

Nathan was the butcher, so boy did I have fun finding props for him to be the butcher.  He's wearing an apron, with a hamburger and a chicken leg poking out the pockets.  It was the best I could do.

There's Jack and Jill and a twinkling star along with some kittens who've lost their mittens.

And Little Bo Peep with her sheep.  Jackson, the Baker, is on the far left.

It was neat to see Nathan have something only he did and could be considered his and unique to him.
