Today was a very important day in the Todd house. It was Kaden's first day of preschool for this year! We have had a great summer, but I think everyone was ready for a change of pace :) Kaden is still going to preschool at our church, and this year he is in Mrs. Shaver and Mrs. Gina's class.
Last year, if you can remember, we suffered three weeks of Kaden crying ALL DAY at preschool. Oh what a difference a year makes! This year he was ready to go! While we ate breakfast this morning he kept making sure that I realized that Noah and I were supposed to come home during preschool. We took some pictures at home of him in his "first day of school" clothes and we were off!
Once we got to preschool Kaden walked right into his classroom, hung his backpack up on the hook with his name, and sat down to begin coloring a picture of teddy bear. There were no tears (him or me!) and he was perfectly happy to be there! I know some parents might feel a little rejected when their child doesn't seem to care if they are there or not, but I love it! Not only does it make my life a little easier, it also makes me feel like I've raised a confident, secure little boy who knows that his mama is going to be back for him AND that he knows I would never leave him someplace if it was not good for him.
I was excited to pick him up today, and he had a great day! When he got in the car he told me, "I had so much fun! It was EVERYTHING!" I'm not totally sure what that last part meant, but I'm just going to assume that preschool is awesome and that it's EVERYTHING he dreamed it would be! I love my preschooler :)
