Why the tears?

Why is it that every day of pre school starts with whining, crying, I don't want to go to school, I don't want to get dressed, I want to stay home...but ends in smiles? I am sorry Jack for ripping your pajamas off you while you fight me to get you dressed, for shoving a few spoonfulls of cereal down you and forcing you in the car on these mornings when you forget how much you actually love school. It has been two weeks since pre school started, and more than half the mornings have gone like this. I just really hope this gets better, because it's hard for me to enjoy my two hours with him gone when I feel like a mean mommy.

Here are some pictures from his first morning of school...he was all smiles this day, I think because he was excited about his new shirt.

He is so cute... he looks so big. I have a feeling our mornings are going to be the same... we start preschool next week. Wish us luck!!

Both Mark and Emma did the same thing. And I won't tell you how long it lasted because it will depress you. It was just crazy though because they loved it as soon as I left. I guess we should be happy they like being with us so much!

Brad would go to preschool everyday if he could. In fact I think that Brad would live at the school if I promised to bring him his cozy and kiss him goodnight. I have to deal with the crying when I pick him up, and he clings to chairs and tables as I am physically dragging him to the car. I think he does love me though. I think.....
