Jack did very well on his first day. He happily ran to the steps when we got there and refused any help to climb them. It was as if he knew it was his first day, and he wanted to be a big boy right away! He got a little clingy when we got inside, so I turned him over to his teacher, Miss Nikki and went to pay the director and put his stuff in his cubbie. I heard him crying when I left, but I walked out the door anyway. I knew that would be better than saying goodbye all over again. Driving away was weird- the car was too quiet. No singing in the backseat or anyone yelling "buh!" every time I passed a bus. I was wondering if I'd cry, and I'm glad I didn't. I just knew he'd be ok there.
When I got back to pick him up, he was hanging out in Miss Nikki's rocking chair with nukie and yellow blankie. He cried when he saw me, but then smiled and showed me all of the toys. Miss Nikki said he did really well for his first day. He cried for about 15 minutes after I left, but then he participated and loved circle time, songs, and stories. He even colored a picture of a dog during art time! When it came time for lunch he cried and wouldn't eat, so that's when she gave him yellow blankie and nukie and put him in her chair. I am so proud of how he did! And I'm even more proud about how much FUN he had! I knew this would be great for him!
Tomorrow will be his first full day. Hopefully he'll eat lunch when he's supposed to and take a nap on his new orange sleeping bag we got him from Target. Brandon will be dropping him off (since that's the plan for when school really starts for me) and then picking him up since I have a 2nd grade back to school party to go to. Usually I'll be the one who picks him up. Here are a few pictures- enjoy!
