eager beaver

This morning as we were getting into the car to head to preschool (which Ben desperately misses over the weekend and asks to go to, ) Ben started telling me "good-bye" and "go away mama," before he was even in the car.  I told him he might just NEED me to make it to school but that I would promptly depart upon entering his classroom.  I tried to sit with him and make some connections in the science area between his favorite bottle of black liquid and other black things and he chanted, "bye-bye mommy," the whole time.  It makes me overwhelmingly happy that he loves school so much and what a perfect giggle-filled way to start the week!
