We had some trepidation as to how Garrett would respond to going to school, but my fears seemed to be a waste of time. Garrett had his first "functional" backpack day today and absolutely loved every aspect of school. Particularly the unlimited hand washing. I asked him on the car ride if he was excited to go to school... I think he was more excited that he was carrying a snack. Once in the room the routine is to take the snack out of the backpack and put it in the ledge. The backpack was history but the snack bag was not about to leave his sight. He carried it everywhere and guarded it with his life.
I thought for sure he may have some separation issues, but those fears were short lived. He confidently walked into the room and started to play with the play dough. As I was walking out the door he was waiving and blowing me kisses. I walked away thinking he could have given me at least ONE tear!
Big success! Maybe not for mom.
