The journey of Preschool...

So we are wrapping up our third week of Preschool.  And I really don't know how to respond to how it is going.  Little Miss Chloe Jean wakes up in the morning and once she realizes it is a day for Preschool - she pops up right out of bed.  Gets dressed and continues through her morning routine - without any fits and usually in her own way of getting it done.  She is just so darn excited to ... until... it is time for her to enter the building.  It is hard for this mom to watch her shut down and have so much anxiety about leaving one of us for her to start her day.



If you ask her how her day was... she says how excited she is to go to preschool.  You may get a little bit out of her about her day.  She will show you how they taught her to brush her teeth and what Alle the Alligator says.  I have even been told that she is great at "being responsible" for her FM system.  She is always excited to talk about Preschool - never any "I don't want to go".  If you ask her Teacher how her day was... she will tell you "she had a great day!"  If you ask her Service Providers how her day was... they will tell you that she is doing well in the classroom and having minor issues when it comes to time for them to leave her.


So it all sounds great - but walking away from her with tears and crying she just wants you to stay... makes it a hard to start my own day on a happy note!  I am just lost on what to do.  Granted she just turned 3 and we had so many changes all within a few weeks.  I will give it some time... help her have the confidence to grow and learn through her Preschool Journey!!


Until then... please say an extra prayer or two for Chloe Jean and Mom too!!
