Preschool and Time Out

It's not what you think :)...

Hudson started preschool last Wednesday.

 

Sis couldn't be left out of the picture!

 

Cool backpack!

 

So- we tried preschool earlier this year and it was a complete failure! He hated going (but loved it once he was there, if that makes any sense.) He hated me leaving him, it was a fight every morning so we just stopped (that was in March).  The thing that I didn't get was the sweet teacher was my neighbor, and all the kids were in the ward and/or neighbors, so he knew everyone there. So I have been stressed for months how he would do in a preschool where he didn't know a single person, not even the teacher.  I was prepared for major drama. I was prepared to bribe like no other, I bought a movie for him and promised a trip to McDonald's. Guess What?

There was NONE of it!!! In fact he hopped out of the car and ran up to the door, had his shoes off and his backpack hung up before I even got to the door! I was baffled to say the least! He LOVES preschool and he loves his teacher, he asks every day if it is preschool day.

So what changed? I can't  figure it out either.  Maybe he's grown up in the last few months. Maybe it's because it's in the afternoon instead of the morning, I don't know, I'm just happy because he's happy.

Big boy!
