After much anticipation on Peter's part, and much dread on my part, the first day of preschool is here. Unlike with the other kids, I think Peter and I have both been perfectly happy to hang out here together. I really toyed with the idea of just keeping him home for another year, but since everyone else has gone off to school all day, I know he was ready for something more.
This just doesn't look like a kid who is upset to be going off somewhere without Mom, does it?
I dropped him off and he went running off without even looking back. I had to ask him to come back and give me a hug and then I had to turn around and leave quickly before I mad a spectacle of myself with my crying. Even though he's ready, I'm not so sure that I am. So hard to watch my baby grow up and move on already!!
When I picked him up, he was glad to see me, and said, "Mom, I had fun at preschool!" I'm happy for him and sad for me. I'm sure that as we settle into a routine, this will get easier, but today at least, I really missed my little sidekick! At least it's not kindergarten, right?
