Today was a day of so many emotions - joy, pride, anxiety, sadness, excitement. Matthew started preschool this morning. I am so excited for him because I know that he is going to love it, but at the same time my heart is breaking. It's so hard to see him growing up. I know it's inevitable that he will go to school, but it doesn't make it any easier! I am looking forward to hearing about all of the wonderful things that he will learn about and discover and I know that he will fall in love with his preschool teacher, as most little boys do. It also helps to ease my worries knowing that he already knows one other little boy in his class. This first day was set up like an open house and since I was pretty sure the powers that be would frown greatly on my having a sub the 5th day of school, Michael took Matthew today. That's probably just as well. My sobbing in a corner probably would have scared the other children in the room! Just kidding! Matthew was ready, but cautious, as he always is in new situations. Michael said that Matthew held his hand walking in, but within a few minutes was fleeting around the room having a grand time. I'm sure that a lot of his confidence in the room stems from the fact that the preschool room is in the same building as his daycare. I hope that Matthew loves school and never forgets that no matter how big he gets that his mommy loves him more than all the moon and stars!
