Back to School




Today was Andrew's first day back to preschool following Summer Break. He was SO excited and has been asking for weeks when he gets to go back! I LOVE that he loves his school so much. I could not help but think back to when Andrew first started school. When he turned 3 his pediatrician recomended that I find a preschool or some activity that I would feel comfortable leaving him at. Andrew was very attached and clingy and Dr. Marsden said that it would probably get a lot worse if I did not help Andrew to feel comfortable in new situations now. So I put him in preschool. I went with him the first several times to make sure I was comfortable and he was comfortable. The first few weeks of dropping him off on his own were terrible. Iused to have to DRAG him out of the car, take him in and hand him to a teacher screaming - I would then drive around the corner and cry because I felt so bad. I kept doing it because Sean and Dr. Marsden assured me that it really was best for Andrew! Well, they were right!!! Andrew has thrived and this year has been insisting that he wants to go everyday, not just some days! So we are trying out 4 days a week and Andrew is EXCITED! He could not wait to get out of the car and run in there this morning! Hope it is everything he is expecting and that he progresses as well as he did last year. He looked so adorable this morning. He really looks so big and insists on having a spray of dad's cologne before he leaves for school! What a sweet boy!
