So much good comes with preschool.
But so much bad does too.
My sweet, innocent, always happy, always willing to help boy, now has streaks of defiance and whining and even a little sass.
HOW SAD!!!
The only thing I hold onto is that Navy and Scout went through the same thing.  They see other behaviors that they didn’t know were “legal” and tried them out at home.  I call it the “school phase”.  I hate the school phase, because it makes a lot more work for me to consistently discipline the heck out of the bad stuff coming in.
But I see light with Dash already.
No matter how many magnet castles Pippi ruins, or how many snacks she steals from him, or how many times she teases him — he never loses patience with her.
He is sweet to the core with his little sister.
So I am hoping that this “school phase” comes to a quick close!
