Boomer is making his way through the alphabet at pre-school AND getting to try out his skills at fashion design with this queenly paper sack gown and tiara. Lovely. Besides QUEEN, his worksheet had several other Q words: quilt, quail, and quetzal. Quetzal? What's with that? In spite of being a mediocre Spanish student for two years in junior high, I was baffled. So was Boomer. No habla espanol en prescolar, I guess.
The picture that accompanied the word was obliterated with blue crayon, compliments of you-know-who, but the quetzal looked to be something long and slender, like a belt or rope. Later, I got on the Internet to find the definition. Seems a quetzal is the national bird of Guatemala. Definitely a tidbit of knowledge that all fine pre-schoolers in Kansas should have so they won't be "Left Behind."
Twelve or so years down the road, I sure hope Boomer is as enthusiastic about school as he is now. He was just overjoyed at showing off his paper sack queen. But something tells me that coloring sacks will probably not be in the curriculum when he's in high school, darn it. La escuela no es divertido when students get older. Es muy dificil. Bummer, Boomer.

Gabe is Not enjoying Preschool anymore! Tired of the bus, tired of the schedule, tired of listening, tired of being good, tired of sitting still! Ready for Spring Break & Summer Vacation here!
