DS had his first day of preschool today, and it went great! I am so relieved, because he has always been sensitive and this time last year was a nightmare.

I told him that this year, when he was ready, he could be dropped off at the gate (where a teacher waits). Today I had a bunch of stuff to drop off with him, and because it was his first day, I wanted to go in with him anyway. He told me "that's ok mom, I'll go in at the gate by myself". I almost cried! I had to let him down easy that today I needed to go in with him! Then I asked the teacher if she could check in on him a few times because he is newly in underpants. She all but said "ok lady, I think we have this covered" I'm so unneeded! :)

At least his younger brother still needs me, and we had a grand time at Gymboree, where he got some highly coveted one-on-one time!
