First Day of School

Well, not actually the FIRST day of school, but the first day of preschool for Sammy by himself. Yes, Sammy is finally in preschool. I know some people thought I would never let my youngest go off to preschool, but I finally made the decision. I think it was the begging and pleading of Sammy that finally convinced me that he was ready for preschool.

So the spring semester began on Monday and boy was Sammy excited. Since Monday is my work day, I was at class with Sammy on the first day. Wednesday I went to class but stayed in the background. Both days Sammy did great and had fun. Today was the real test. Today Sammy was on his own, he didn't even have Daniel with him because Daniel is sick, again. So this morning I headed off to school with just Sammy. After we got to school I stayed a little while and then told Sammy I was going to go. Sammy wanted me to stay with him, but after a little encouragement and convincing Sammy went off to play while I headed home.

It was a strange feeling leaving Sammy at preschool all by himself. Usually Daniel is with him, and Sammy still seems so little to me. It is exciting and kinda sad at the same time.

I guess everything was fine because I didn't get a call from Teacher Laurie, and my friend who we carpool with and brought Sammy home, said he was playing happily when she picked him up. I guess my little boy is growing up, whether I want to admit it or not.
