On August 18th, someone's going to preschool in this photo.
I'll let you figure out which one! Haha.
Needless to say OUR worlds are going to change DRASTICALLY around here. He has declared he doesn't want to go to a new school. He wants to go to mommy's school.
Awwww...that's so sweet but, it's honestly time for you to go and learn, meet some friends, socialize and be around kids your age. It's ok. It's only 3 hours, 3 days a week.
By the time I drop you off, run a few errands, it will be time to pick you back up. Don't worry, You'll love it and rumor has it, one of your very "bestesterest" friends from the very first playdate we ever attended, will be there too. See???? We'll survive. It's Daddy that I'm worried about.
Question: What age did your child(ren) attend preschool? Did they skip preschool all together and go straight to kindy? What age did they start? How did you transition from being a full time stay at home mommy to sending your baby off to day school?
What advice do you have for a mommy that might be freaking out just a little about her children's first day of preschool?

I don't have any advice for you but I plan to keep my children at home until kindergartern. We have school at home for 4 hours a day and we get together with other children during the week for the social interaction.

too many questions!
Ha, all the answers are different with different kids, you know that... but with DJ, he's like your first born all over again, being so far apart!
James went to pre-school for 2 years!! before kindy. He loved it and I couldn't tear him away. And now he's my smartest, gifted program and all, go figure.
Jaden went to pre-school for just about 6 months, before it was completely necessary to get him out of the house for longer persiods of time and off to kindy he went!
Sorry, no sympathy for 3rd, you need to stop whining so much, child and the need to make him leave for hours at a time.
sigh.
I do love him, ha... just need small breaks.
Mikey went to Jr-PreK (3yrs old) at our local catholic school. He will be starting PreK in September. Jr-PreK was 5 days a week, 8:30 - 11 and Pre-K will be a full day. The reason I sent him early was he was totally unsocialized. No matter what classes we went to he was shy and clingy. Now he is friends with everyone in class and has playdates and has already asked me when he is going back to school to see his friends.
It was rough the first few weeks. He would cry and hang on. But the best advice I can give you is give him a kiss, tell him you love him and will pick him up really soon and get the heck out. The longer you stay the harder it will be on both of you. After you leave he will get distracted with all the kids and goings on and totally have fun. The teachers are use to it. They know how to handle it.
It will all work out for the best!
Connor turned 3 in June and is heading to preschool this month. He'll start with three days a week and once I go back to work, he'll go 5 days.
I'm sure Connor will deal with it well. At least I'd like to think so. He's excited to go to school because we've been talking about it for a while.
On the other hand, I'm freaking out so I could use some of that advice as well.
Awesome pic of you two, preschool starts this early? Just think you will actually have a few hours to
do anything that comes to mind.
Gavin transitioned pretty well. He started a few months shy of his 3rd birthday and loves it. Some days he does not want to go, but he's fine by the time he gets there. It was hard for me because even when I was working he went to a babysitter who live 3 doors down and was like a grandma to him and I thought it would be big adjustment for him. It was harder on me than him...as I am sure it will be for you. Don't worry about it
Well i don't know how i will act wen that day comes, but Jaiden is going to be 6 months on the 20th and i am just beginning to look into programs for him. I'm very scared of the unknown...not knowing if he will be taken care of well, but i know he needs that communication with the outside world and not just with his mommy.
I found a school that offers programs for children 1-6yrs of age called Discovery Preschool Centers...its in Coral Springs, i will be scheduling a tour with them soon, hopefully it will have all the things i'm looking for.
Oh and as for ur Girls day out with ur daughter, wen u go to have sushi... i recommend that u try something without raw fish (maybe their version of the mexican roll), it might make u sick. I really want to go see that movie she's taking u to, i know u mentioned that musicals aren't ur thing but heyyy u never know it might have u dancing in the isles!!!! Lol, at least its one-on-one time with just the two of u, enjoy!!!
my kids never went to preschool. The went straight to K. I will do the same with William as well. I homeschooled and took the kids on adventures to get them ready for school. Let's just say on the first day my kids had no tears or fear but I was a mess! The teacher had to kick me out and tell me to come back at the end of the day! LOL!
Awesome! Plan your time well while he's in school, but if you can do nothing and just be with your thoughts do that instead of errands.
Carry tissue because the tears may flow after drop off on the first day.
