Ben's first day of preschool was today. He hasn't been too excited with the thought of going to preschool without Jaelyn being there. On numerous occasions he's said, "I don't want to go to school"...and that was the tone this morning. It was heart wrenching to leave him, but after getting him settled at school for almost 30 minutes, I had to leave. He was crying really hard when I left and all I wanted to do was scoop him up and comfort him! I kept the phone close to me the entire morning in case they needed me back at school because he was still crying! But, thankfully no phone call! :) It turns out that Mrs. Pitts heard crying down the hall and came to see if she could help. Ben saw her and went to her with open arms. We love Mrs. Pitts!! Benjamin ended up having his free play in Mrs. Pitts classroom (playing with his buddy Lincoln!) and then eventually switched back to his classroom after recess. He settled into his classroom and did fine the remainder of the morning. It was great to hear him call daddy on the phone to tell him about preschool and without any prompting the first words out of his mouth was "preschool was good, daddy!" I'm really hoping that Wednesday's drop off is way easier and that he gets into the swing of things quickly!!
What a good lookin' kid!
Going to his classroom (the same one Jaelyn was in the last
2 years!)
Getting to put up his name - he always wanted to do this for
Jaelyn!
Playing in the sand tub...all was good if Mommy stayed right
beside him!
