Colton's First day of Preschool




Tuesday was Colton's first day of preschool. It all seemed ok until we got to school. Once we were inside Colton did not want to talk to his teacher, he tried to hide behind mom and run away. This made it even harder on mom. I was alreday having a hard time with the fact that my little boy is growing up and starting school. Then he acts like he doesn't want to be there. The first few minutes were difficult on us both. But it did not take long before he was talking to the teacher and was ok with me leaving. So with chocked back tears I left and went back home. When I picked him up his teacher said he did great and he said he had fun. He told me "I didn't make a buddy today" in which I reasured him that it takes time and maybe Thursday he could try again. Then while driving home he tells me "I didn't get a girlfriend". After a moment of laughter, I told him that he didn't need one of those for a really long time. So over all his first day went well and he told me he is ready to go back Thursday. If he keeps this attitude we will have a great school year!
I took pictures of him before we left the house then a couple of him at preschool.
