No Preschool Halloween Costume Parade Today: I couldn’t not be there.

I’m happy to report that my son has been doing really well in preschool. He loves it, in fact. When we get ready for bed at night, the night before he goes to school as he only goes twice a week, I ask him if he knows what the next day is. If it’s the…
