On Monday, we started many things. Mommy went back to work and Cameron went to his new preschool. Needless to say, this week and last week has been a little rocky. Today was Day #8 of preschool....and this morning Cameron SEEMED to SHOW a little ray of hope that his seperation anxiety is getting a little better. We have had 8 solid mornings of TEARS, SAD FACES, and teachers basically having to PULL Cameron from me so I can leave. Luckily, I'm a teacher--and I know, as a teacher, the BEST thing to do is say goodbye and LEAVE. I know, as a teacher, that it isn't good for ANYONE (Cameron, teachers, or me) to poke around and make it a long drawn out process. BUT, let me tell you, AS A MOM, it is the most painful & heartbreaking thing in the world to leave a crying, sad-faced baby every morning. It didn't take me long to figure out that the tears and sad faces were only for me. He stopped crying and joined in the group within MINUTES of me leaving from DAY ONE! Nonetheless, I hope this transition continues to get better and better....with the goal being ZERO tears in the morning.
Here are a few pictures of his first day. The center took several more, to reassure me that they see laughing, smiling, and fun all day, but I'm trying to figure out how I can scan and post them. I'm going to get Ryan to work on it this weekend....so look for more to come about preschool
Here we are...getting ready to head out the door. Backpack and all! :)
The director went back into class for me as soon as I left to snap a quick shot of the sad :( face I had to leave. No worries, pictures taken just MINUTES after this one with their camera are nothing but beautiful smiles :)
I snapped this shot when I came in to pick him up on his first day. He was sitting so perfectly listening to a story and enjoying music time. Such a big boy!!
