Tyler's 1st day of Preschool

Last week we received a last minute call from a local preschool notifying us that a space opened up for Tyler. Other parents had months to mentally prepare themselves and their children for school, but I had only 5 days. Given that Arthur had to wait in line for 4 hours only to find out Tyler would be put on the wait-list, we were thrilled to receive the call.

Today was his first day of school. He was a little apprehensive at first and did not want me to leave. I waited outside the room with the other nervous mothers to make sure all the kids settled down within a few minutes. We took turns peaking in the rooms to check on each other's kids so that our own kids didn't see us spying. When the coast was clear, we decided it was safe to leave.

When I went to pick Tyler up, I was relieved to find that he did not have any major cuts or bruises and that he had not given any other kids cuts or bruises. He was actually in a great mood and told me all about his day. He played with trains and cars and got to go outside to the play ground. He was even excited to tell me about the crackers and lemonade he had for snack. I think he will end up doing just fine at school.
