Preschool Time

 Zach was happy enough to have his photo taken near the door, since he had seen his brother and sister do it, but when we got to school that was something else. I had asked Spense if he would come with me because I thought that might make things easier. As soon as we got out of the car he knew what was going on and started to whimper. I thought that knowing Olivia had been to school at the same place would help, but it didn't.

After a few minutes of trying to make him feel more comfortable I just decided to leave him with Spenser. Zach was already asking him not to leave him. Spense came out a couple of minutes later. Zach was crying, but Spense was sure he would be OK! I sat in the car and cried for a little while too. It's always hard for me to look back at that little face and see them so sad. I wonder sometimes if stay at home mom's do their kids a disservice but not leaving them at daycare then none of this would be so hard. Thomas was pretty terrible at this age too so hopefully Zach will get over it at some point just like he did.

I ran to Target and Spense called me to tell me that teacher Sandy had called. I expected to have to leave the store right there and then, but he said she had called to say he only cried for a few minutes and was now doing fine. When I picked him up he was a little clingy, but was happy enough to talk about what he had done that day. Hopefully, we'll make it!
