Preschool Day 3 - Finally No Crying!

So it took Riley and I to day 3 of his new preschool class drop off to not shed any tears! Yea for us! 

Monday- Day 1-  he cried...so of course I held it together, but burst into tears by the time I got into my car! 

Tuesday - Day 2, he didn't full on cry, but as we stood outside the door to give him a second to get ready to go in..I was trying to encourage him. Saying you get to see Jacob and Kayla and all your new friends - and he looked right in my eyes and said "I don't want new friends Mommy. I want Matthew and Blake!" OMG! It BROKE my HEART in two! So I cried all the way to work that day too! 


So I blogged about them moving him to the older 2 year old class last year b/c they were scared he was going to hurt someone. Well the residual effect of that is that now they moved him back into the younger 3 year old class, so there is not ONE person from his 2 year old class in his current class! :( He lost ALL his friends in one fell swoop! Ugh!! I know he'll make new friends and stuff, but it made me sad!! He REALLY loves Matthew! And Matthew's Mom said Matthew would only talk about Riley at home and would ask if they could take him home every day! 

He was in SUCH a good mood when I picked him up. I asked if he like being in Ms. Amy's class and he said "YES!!". Then I asked how his day was he said "GOOD!" Then I asked if he liked all his new friends, and he said "YES!!" 

Wednesday - Day 3 -  I asked him the same questions I asked him on the way home on the way to school today, and got all the same answers! So I was thinking...good! Maybe the tide is changing! I dropped him off a little earlier than usual b/c I had a meeting, and they were watching tv during bathroom time! WAHOO! Bingo! He gave me a kiss and said bye as he sat down to watch Diego! He dropped me faster than yesterday's news! Getting up a few minutes earlier may be WELL worth the payoff!!! Plus, it helped me get to work at a much better time! Now if we could only get to bed earlier....yeah right!


Day 3 was also the first boo-boo free day too! Monday - he fell and busted the top side of the lip where he busted the bottom side 2 weeks ago! They thought it only bled b/c it was where he fell before, but it ripped some skin off  pretty good! Then Tuesday he fell and scraped his knee! 


He also had a runny nose Monday, so he was MISERABLE!! His nose would run on his skinned lip and he would just cry! Bless him! So we had some medicine and watched Toy Story 3 to help make that all better! 


Now we'll see how the rest of the week goes....stay tuned!
