So I choose a school that's really close to my work. It's play-based and takes kids who aren't potty-trained. Plus it's a brand new facility, so those were all big pluses in my book. Justin will be going three half days a week. We went for a trial run last week where I got to stay with him for the morning so it wouldn't be so foreign to him when he started for real. I will totally admit that I was nervous and scared after our trial run, seeing how well the other kids were able to wait their turn and follow directions from the teacher.
But Jay assured me Justin would be fine and probably do pretty well once I wasn't there to hover over him. True to form, Justin did pretty well today. He didn't cry when I left and apparently only cried once during the morning when he didn't want to wait his turn. When I went to get him, he was sitting quietly with the other kids listening to a story. But as soon as he saw me, he started bawling! Oops. I think he was just hungry and maybe relieved to see familiar faces. He was fine after we gave him some milk and snacks.
::Sigh:: Another milestone in the little rugrat's life. It's sad to think of him being old enough to go to any kind of school. But I know this will be good for the both of us :)
