School Boy

Look who is an official School Boy, yes Landon. He started preschool today. I have been very nervous about sending him, because he has a lot of seperation anxiety when I leave him. He usually cries when I have someone babysit him and he even ran away once while he was at someones house (he was trying to get back home). When the subject has been brought up about school he gets all upset and says he doesn't want to go. I took him at the end of last week to his meet the teacher night and he actually had fun playing with toys while we were there, so I was hopeful that maybe he would be alright. I also gave the teacher a heads up to his seperation issues. Over the last couple of days I have been calling him my school boy and telling him how neat it is that he gets to take his backpack to school just like Madie and Ethan. I told him this morning that we were going to go take his school picture out by the raspberries just like we did with Madie and Ethan. He did really well this morning and never cried. He looked a little worried and like he might cry, but he never did. We got to school, went to the potty, and headed up to his classroom. We unloaded his supplies, hung up his backpack and I got him started at a little shapes activity that was set up at the table. I told his teacher I was leaving, she went over and started talking to him about the activity, I gave him a little wave and off we went. I got a call from my friend whose little boy is in the same class and she told me he was doing great. When we picked him up he was all smiles and ran to his cubby to show me his cookie he decorated. I am so glad he had a great time and hope that everyday it will get a little easier.
