Ben's First Day of Preschool

Ben had his first day of preschool today. He was in denial that he was going. We would ask him if he was going to school and he would always reply "No!" This morning he was excited to wear his backpack and carry his nap mat. He walked in happy and was happy when we dropped Blake off. Then on to his room. When we got there he started being really shy and tearing up. It wasn't too much drama, but he was definitely sad. His teacher, Ms. Shannon, came over an talked with him and then grabbed a toy and he sat on her lap playing. He didn't want to take off his backpack, but that was fine. My friend, Kristy, called me with a report when she walked by saying that he was still sitting on the teachers lap, wasn't crying, and his backpack was off.

When I picked him up he was outside his room with his teacher, Ms. Pam. She said he woke up upset from his nap (wow, he really slept - shocking) and he wanted his other blanket. I had only sent one of his two blankets, but it was his favorite one. Guess I will send the other one next Thurs. She said he had a great time and was happy!
