Jeremy started pre-school on Monday. He was excited about starting school until he woke up. When he woke up he was nervous. I distracted him by telling him "you get to wear your Yoda shirt and your favorite socks!" We had woke up a little late so he's eating his toast in the car.

Once we got to school he was really nervous. He did not want me taking his picture. When I picked him up he was so happy and excited! He had a great day!


This morning he didn't want to go to school at all! He was crying by the time he left. I was asking myself, "Am I doing the right thing? Should I just let him stay home another year?" Then I realized, He is really happy when I pick him up. He has tons of fun. Anyone who knows Jeremy knows that he is strong willed. Like any personality, it has it's good points and bad. I can't imagine him not putting up this battle a year from now or even after that. We'll see. Hopefully that will not be the case.
What do you think?

That is the best shirt ever! It's just a little scary walking away from mom for a few hours. Maybe he is getting it all out of his system now and when it is time for Kindergarten he will be an old pro :)
I love the pictures - especially the middle one. I love photos that show emotion and tell a story. I think that the way he is when you pick him up is more telling about how he feels about preschool than when you leave him. At this age they remember what they want to!
Liv was nervous at first too. However, she now pushes me out the door and basically walks into school by herself. If he is happy when you pick him up, he is having a good time!! By next month it will be old hat.

hi sarah! love olivia
Those pictures are just so cute! He will get better in time, if you take him out now , you will run into the same problem a year from now.I just love the pouty face, cracks me up, sooo cute!!
That grumpy picture is great! I felt bad for Cole this year not having Ethan there with him. Then I got over that real fast. :)
Such cute pictures! Brandon cries too, before we drop him off, but he is always happy when we pick him up, so I know he loves it. And each day is a little easier than the day before. It is a good thing for them to have some time away from Mom (and for Mom to have a break!) :-)
