School- a definite success!

Last week was the first week of the new school for big guy and for school in general for little man.  My anxiety was extremely high following the terrible visit little man had the week before.  Drop off proved to be challenging for hubs, as little man put on his "angry face" which consists of furrowed brows and pouty lip.  Followed by hysterical tears! And big guy was feeling sad that little man was sobbing so much.

However, by the time I came for pick up, all was right with the world.  Little man had a great day playing in the room, exploring, plus since he's the oldest and only walker, he really did have run of the place.  He ate nicely and slept during naptime, without needing to be rocked to sleep- which, apparently, he's been playing me!  Anyway, the rest of the week, followed and improved in much the same way.  The highlights include little man absconding from his group to do water play, in which he was in a diaper loving life!  The kid loves water.  Also, buggy rides, he just loves being outside.  And his fun personality is starting to come out, his laughter and smiles.  I come around 3:15 and nurse him either right after he wakes up, but mostly he's still sleeping and so thus wakes up fully nursing and then is very happy.  His teachers are just delightful, very sweet and nice.  And they just love his cute face and fun loving spirit!

Big guy has had an even better week.  Mostly due to the fact that he gets to swim monday through thursday and is getting swim lessons.  He is so happy there and tells me how much he loves kindergarten!  So sweet and such a joy to hear.  He is doing a really nice job of adjusting.  Playing and making new friends, sharing his talents with friends and his teachers are impressed with his transition.  I've had a few really good conversations with both teachers about my concerns about weaknesses and strengths and they have listened attentively.  I'm feeling that not only will this be a great experience for him, but that he is really going to blossom.

So, we are entering week two, which probably won't be a full week, since I'm done work on wednesday, but then again, hubs is leaving on thursday for California, so maybe I'll need a break!  Overall, a really successful week!
