Today was Chord's first day at preschool. I can't believe my baby boy is already in preschool! I feel like I just brought him home yesterday, but alas he is 17-months-old. I can't imagine what the next few years have in store for me!
He was suprisingly good, too. When we got there the other kids were having their snack. He got his snack too. It consisted of "fifies" and "cakes" (goldfish and marshmallows). He had his cup of milk to go along. He wanted to play trucks with the boys while eating his snack. Luckily his teacher is his Yaya, so she understands his busy body needs. Yaya said he did really well all day today. He played well with the two-year-olds and three-year-olds. He even played some with the four-year-olds. She did say he would look out the window and say, "My momma", indicating he wanted to know where his momma was. He still didn't cry though.
Finally, at nap time he agreed to lay down on the cot with his blanket. However, once all of the other kids got quiet he decided napping was not what he wanted to do. He thought his time would be much better spent running through the school and/or screaming. Yaya tried rocking him and occupying his time with no avail. I knew this would be the most difficult part of the transition. He has never wanted to sleep anywhere except in his room in his crib or with me or mom in our beds. He wouldn't even sleep in his pack and play at my grandparents house. Nevertheless, it is a transition he will make at some point. He's such a big boy!
I love how active Chord is. I love how busy he is, too. He's constantly going and learning new things. He loves to talk. He loves to find new things. He loves to try and be a little adult. Watching him grow up has been such a continuous blessing. I can't wait to continue on into our future together! My baby boy isn't such a baby anymore! :D
