Marek's first teacher crush

Marek loves his preschool teacher! He was talking with Grandma and the assistant Guide in his class on Monday. When she left, Grandma mentioned how nice the assistant is. Marek said, "but I only love one person." It's so cute! He just loves his teacher so much. He grins from ear to ear every morning when he stands in line to enter his preschool room. He sees her and just lights up. It's so sweet. We have conferences on Halloween. It will be interesting to talk with her more and get her perspective on how things are going. I observed him in his classroom on Tuesday. He was so interested in everything - and following the teacher around like a little puppy dog.

Next week the class is going to the pumpkin patch. I can't wait to join him! I think he'll have a great time, and I just love going to farms in the fall. It's my favorite time of year!

By the way, I just have to share this memory of Marek: Now that he has his guitar and puts on shows for us, he often inserts an enthusiastic, "Yee Haw!" in the middle of his song. I don't know where he gets it, but it's so adorable. He also puts out his guitar case and insists we put money in it while he plays! I think he's seen many musicians do this around downtown and at the farmer's market. Jake hopes his ambitions in life progress beyond being a street musician. ;-) He really has an ear for music, though!
