Tyler started preschool on Monday, September 13th.
After having my baby boy home with me for over 3 years, I sent him off into the big world. The house was strangely quiet with him gone. How different it felt to be home with just one little baby again....like a flashback in time. Allie and I did enjoy our one-on-one time. She gets to see what it's like to have Mommy all to herself. I do think she misses Tyler a lot when he's not here, though. He is her favorite person and it is he who can make her laugh the hardest.
Daddy went with us to drop Tyler off on his first day of school!
I find myself watching the clock all day long, wondering what he is doing and counting how much time is left until I need to pick him up. I have always been the one to bless him when he sneezes, hug him when he's sad, fix his belt after he goes potty, and laugh with him while we play. Now I get to share the joy and responsibility with someone else. I hope they will love him as much as I do.
Yes, I admit I teared up when it was time to say good-bye.
Lunch was lonely without him, but it was fun fixing his school lunch and putting it in his little lunchbox. I even included a note, which he brought home and hung up on the refrigerator after school.
Tyler's new teacher, Ms. Julie
He has enjoyed both of the two days he had school this week. He is always smiling when I pick him up, and he doesn't cry when I drop him off, so I am confident that he likes school so far. It is nice to know he will have an opportunity to meet new friends and do some things without his Mommy. I am sure it makes him feel very grown up. It's just a little hard for me to get used to this new chapter in my life. Although, I do enjoy the extra time to myself when Allie is napping and Tyler is at school! It goes by so fast!
He was happily playing with Play-doh when I left.
They all line up their backpacks, lunches, and nap mats in the hallway, next to their name.
The hallway looks so funny with all the stuff lined up.
