Preschool Day #1

Wyatt went to preschool for the first time today. He was excited to go and didn't mind when I left, but he cried after I was gone for most of the day. Poor little guy. I waited in the hall for about 30 minutes before I left the school, but he cried the whole time that I was in the hall. He kept asking his teacher "Is my Mommy coming back to get me?" and she would say "Yes" and then he would stop crying for a bit, but then he would start crying again and the cycle would continue. I made sure that he didn't see me out in the hall because he would never have stayed in the room if he knew that I was close by, but I wanted to make sure that he didn't become hysterical. My friend Carrie kept peeking in the window of his room for me and she said that she thought that he was just "sad". She said that he was still participating and following directions, but he was missing his Mommy. He sure was excited to see us when we came back to get him though. The boys and I spent the morning doing errands and brought Wyatt a pumpkin-shaped sugar cookie when we came to pick him up and he was as happy as a clam for the rest of the day! When I asked him what he did at school today Wyatt said "toys and phones". He also insisted on drinking juice with lunch which has never happened before and then told me that the juice was just like the juice that he had in school today and "don't fold the cup up or spill it!". It's funny the bits and pieces of his day that he decides to talk about! He also got school pictures taken today, which should be pretty interesting to see! I think that Thursday should go better now that he realizes that we will be coming back to take him home!
