Adventures in preschool

It's always interesting sending speech-delayed or otherwise non-talkative kids off somewhere like preschool, especially if the preschool buses and you don't have a whole lot of interaction with the teachers. Because you can't ask them 'did you have a good day?' and actually get anything that could be construed as a meaningful answer. So you've got to go by your nonverbal clues.
Yesterday the kiddo came home covered in perfume smell. Fortunately it was of a brand that doesn't set off my MCS. So (as I was mentioning to [livejournal.com profile] kay_willow last night) he either has a much older girlfriend, or someone figured dousing themselves in cheap perfume was an appropriate alternative to a shower.
Today he comes home covered in wet Ritz cracker crumbs. Well, not covered - it's not like we have a breaded child here - but you know what I mean.
Someday he might even tell me the story of his adventures.
