Preschool and new backpacks

Finn has been having some trouble adjusting to preschool lately and has made it clear that he would rather not go to school (despite telling stories about what happened at school, which tells me that he kind of likes it). In the lead-up to Poppie's birth, Nick and I have been discussing the pros and cons of keeping a schedule versus giving him more time at home. We came to the conclusion that we needed preschool time to collect our thoughts and get some things done and that the routine would be best for him. But we could make the transition more fun, somehow. So, we bought a new backpack the other day and have been making a big scene of packing it with snacks and the things he needs for school. He loves it.

This morning, Finn was so excited about his new backpack that he actually wanted to walk out the door and made a big show of saying bye-bye to me, Auntie Casi, Inca and bye-bye to the baby.  He even asked me to take some pictures of him with his backpack and wanted to see what he looked like. Such a little ham.
