Tuesday, September 3rd was Ben's first day of preschool! He was not aware of where he was going when I took these pictures. And there were gummy bear treat bribes involved. Tuesday and Wednesday were rough drop off days. Tuesday, Ben didn't figure out what was going on until we pulled into the park lot of school. He just kept saying, 'No, mommy, you are just dropping off paperwork!' (which we had done the previous Friday). Ben was very sad when I left in the mornings. But Wednesday afternoon I had to wait for him to finish playing at the workbench before we could leave. Thursday morning, Ben was tear free! Nick however, threw a fit when we left school because he wanted to stay and play trains with Ben...Just can't win sometimes. Friday was 100% tear free and daddy got to pick Ben up at school and everyone was happy!
Tuesday, after such a good school day and because Adam was out of town, I took the boys to McDonald's for dinner. I was trying to make the whole school transition thing as big of a deal as possible in order to get positive buy-in from Ben. After dinner we went to Target to get a school pillow for nap time. Ben picked out a panda pillow pet and is very excited about it.
