Collin goes to school

Collin started his “school” two weeks ago. We call it school, but it’s actually just a 2 yr. old playgroup. Ethan also went to this same program at this age. It is just for an hour & 1/2 on Tuesdays & Thursdays. Just enough time for him to get to play with other kids & start to get used to being away from family members (since they have never gone to daycare).

Here’s my handsome lil monkey man posing before leaving the house.

Of course Ethan had to be apart of picture time! (Even though he wouldnt let Collin take part in his 1st day of school pictures!) 012

They have a great observation room at the school so parents can stay & watch what goes on. He did alright the first half of class, but the second half he cried & followed one of his teachers around. It was really hard not going in & comforting him but I know that would have made it harder to go next time.  The second & third days were a bit rough too. He cried on & off & clung to one of his teachers. But the fourth day he did great!! No crying! He played, drew pictures, ate some sncks & had fun! Hopefully the crying is over & he’s going to enjoy going from now on!

What a fun day for Collin! And a big step too! Glad to hear that after a handful of times he was having fun!

Collin is such a cutie pie!! Adorable pictures - love his monkey backpack! Glad he is enjoying school! That is really nice that they have an observation room for the parents.
Simon goes to what we also call school (an hour on Wednesdays), and it took him about the same amount of time as Collin initially to start enjoying school, and it wasn't long before he was so excited on school days.
Have a fun year, Collin!
