Tyler started his new school, Appleseed Montessori, on Monday, April 20th. Both mommy and daddy went together for the big day. Tyler was quite curious, yet scared at the same time. He cried when we got there and took a good 5 - 10 minutes to warm up and start playing. But of course, the moment mommy and daddy tried to leave ... Tyler started balling. Tears were streaming down his face as his new teacher Ms. Christina held him and we said good bye.
We went to the office to finish up his paper work for a good 10 - 15 minutes later. As we left, we could still hear him crying. It was heartbreaking for mommy. She hates leaving Tyler when he's crying. But that is what is recommended. The longer the parent's stay, they say the worse it gets when they have to leave.
Mommy felt horrible for most of the day. Always wondering how Tyler was doing. Wondering if he ate his lunch and if he was able to nap in his new surroundings.
That afternoon to her surprise, his teacher's said that his morning was definitely a rough one ... but after nap time, he did great! WOOHOO! Mommy was excited to hear this. :)
The rest of the week was quite similar. Tyler would cry during drop off, but still have good days. Towards the end of the week, he would only fuss a little and would wave bye bye after we dropped him off.
We know it will take time ... we just hope it isn't a lot of time. Leaving a crying son at school is not fun. (and this is mommy's job ... 98% of the time) :(
