tears??

Today was Ethan's first day at preschool. it's really a "trial" day - but honestly, unless my kid comes home w/o an appendage - he's staying there. He woke up on the wrong side of the bed - crying for hugs from daddy - wanting TV (a boy show) but not the one I put on. asking for oatmeal for breakfast - taking 2 bites and changing his mind for a waffle. all with big alligator tears and sobs. He got it pulled together to get dressed and get all his "friends" in the car (favorite puppy, lamb, #2 bobo, 6 bobo and a new addition: rabbit). they are all strapped in the seatbelt in the back seat.

We got to school - the one we visited 2 weeks ago and have been talking about ever since - his little lip trembles and he says "mommy, this isn't the one I was talking about" ugh - we took him to 3 schools in 1 day and tried to explain which one we'd be going to - guess we didn't do a good enough job. No tears in the car though.

His regular teacher is on vacation - but we went into his room and 4 little kids came right up to him and introduced themselves and by the time I left 10 min later I barely got a kiss and hug and he was in the middle of a puzzle with another little girl.

and surprisingly, no tears from me either.......
