First Day of Preschool




Ben had his first day of Preschool on Tuesday. It was a little tramatic for both Ben and I. He cried something fierce when I dropped him off. I could hear him crying all the way at the end of the hallway as I was leaving. My heart was breaking. No mother wants to hear their child cry and not be able to swoop in and help. I didn't get a call to come early and get him which made me feel better. When I went to pick him up he was in tears. His teacher said he cried on and off all morning but got worse as children were being picked up.

Today was our second day. He cried again at drop off but not as bad. I went early to pick him up and peeked in the window. He wasn't crying! He wasn't happy but he wasn't crying! Ben's teacher said that he did better today and loved music time but was a little impatient in between songs.

Let's hope next week is even better! :)

susan, you little guy looks so BIG now! Congratulations to him for sticking it out his first day. And CONGRATULATIONS to you for letting him go and enjoy his first day and then taking him back again the next! I give you both a round of applause for getting through a BIG first week! Hope he is having a better time. 8-)
