Yesterday, I took Will to his new pre-school to meet his teacher Ms. Jayne and to show him around. (it was president's day so no kids were there) He checked everything out and played with the toys while Ms. Jayne and I talked and filled out paperwork. She explained what his day would be like and WHO KNEW! he would have gym class and field trips!! Also, she explained the Letter of the Week was X and today he would learn about George Washington. She told Will that Mondays is "Show & Tell" and he can bring something that starts with the Letter of the Week...although, she said X is too hard and he could bring something with the letter x IN the word. Will took his Lexus :) LOL. Then when it was time to go, Will didn't want to leave. Ms. Jayne probably thinks I'm abusive because Will *really* wanted to stay there! But she explained how he has to go home and sleep good and come back when the other kids were gonna be there (worked like a charm).
Will talked about school the rest of the day and kept asking *when* he could return. Then when Daddy got home he ran right to him and said "My school has all these broken toys to play with." What Will meant to say was they have lots of keyboards, cell phones and cameras that are just pretend...but he called them broken because technically there are LOL. Will did SO GOOD all night until he started getting tired around 8. Then he began to really think about things and started crying saying "I'm gonna miss you mawmaw when I'm at school tomorrow." TALK ABOUT RIPPING MY HEART OUT! He was very clingy and wanted me to read his bedtime story *twice* but he did end up falling asleep.
This morning me, Daddy and Em woke Will up all loud and crazy, to make the day start off very exciting like. He got dressed and had his bookbag on a whole half hour before we were even ready to walk out the door! He didn't want to eat and I didn't make him fearing maybe he was too nervous and I didn't want him hurling on his first day! (but YES I will make him eat breakfast from now on , ok. Geez!) So once I took some pictures and we started to the truck, Mimi called. She told him Good Luck and was gonna continue talking to him when he put up his hand and said "ok. that's enough. that's enough" LIKE Mimi quit blubbering over me! LOL LOL LOL He didn't want to be getting all emotional on his first day!! :)
When we got to his school, I took some more pictures of course and then it was time for me to let go. It is *WAY* better to have your kid walk away and forget to say bye to you than to have them bawling and begging you not to leave them there. Will didn't hold onto my leg for dear life but he did forget to say bye to me. I made him come back to the door and smooch me and then he was off. The last thing I heard him say to the teacher was "we gotta go this way upstairs" ALREADY BOSSING PEOPLE AROUND! LOL! I didn't cry or lose it. I had to get Em to school and she made me laugh talking like Will saying "I want pictures at Myyyyyy schooooooool" and "but I don't wannnnnnnna gooooooo." :) That helped, thanks Em. And Em is *WAY*2*COOL*4*SCHOOL* and didn't stop for a picture, brat.
Anywho, so here I sit, in this quiet, empty house and it's weird...but I have to go get Will in exactly 25 minutes and take him to McDonald's for lunch on his first big day so...I think I can handle this.
Look at HEEM!!! awwwwwww
