Sigh of Relief

So far (two days in) Cash is rocking preschool this year. According to my Dad, there have been no tears at drop-off. I’m not picking him up this year, so I don’t know if he’s cried while he’s there, but I haven’t gotten a call from the school, so he must be doing ok. He tells us excitedly about everything he did that day and does not put up a fight when it’s time to leave for school. After last year’s very drawn-out adjustment period, I am thrilled that he has taken to it so easily this year. I think being older helps a lot because he understands so much more of what we tell him and he remembers being there last year so everything isn’t as foreign to him. He knows someone will always come back to get him. And, as much as I hate it, I think removing myself from the equation also helps. He’s not waiting for Mommy to come get him. Paw-Paw takes him and Paw-Paw picks him up. Plus he’s going every day rather than just twice a week, so the routine will help as well. I really want him to enjoy school and look forward to going and learning new things, so hopefully this is the beginning of even better things to come!
