With all the “hoopla” of our little took five posts to talk about Labor Day trip to NOLA I did not get a chance to talk about my pre-schooler!
Little G started last Wednesday.
I was nervous because drop-off is SO not his thing. He did cry and I did make a quick exit. But he was happy as a lark when I returned. At noon (too early for my taste).
He will be staying two day’s a week until 2:30 but on Fridays I will pick him up at noon. However, he only stayed until noon on the first day because apparently they like to confuse us parents.
Anywho…
I wanted to remind myself of how cute and little he was last year on his first day of Mother’s Day Out. And I was right!
Seriously, what a different a year makes! He was still a baby last year! This year, not so much.
As a matter of fact, he did MUCH better at drop-off on Friday and did not cry at all as I left the room.
I was so proud. My “baby” boy is growing up.
And, I’m pretty sure this is going to be a great year for him as he REALLY begins to learn. We sat together on Thursday doing his alphabet train puzzle and counting wheels on the trains in a book. And the kid already uses the word “actually” correctly. My kids are so smart.
Just one of the many reasons I love ’em so much…

My daughter is in her second year of preschool. I just love what it has done for her. Glad drop off has gone ok for you.
WOW! What a difference a year makes huh?????
He is such a cutie!! I am so glad everything went well.
that is a huge difference!! wow!! they change SO fast at that age…
Hope he is enjoying preschool!
Of course your kids are smart! They get it from you!
Wow…he has changed so much in this year!
That is crazy how much more grown up he looks! I love his haircut now, he looks adorable. And noon? 2:30? My boys only went to preschool for two hours! But then again Kindergarten is only half a day here too.
Elaine, HOW CUTE! And yes, I KNOW! The differences I see in my little one from last fall to this fall… it’s sob-worthy. At least you have another baby in the house! Wah… I’m so not okay with how quickly they grow up! When they’re little they’re even more adorable, you know? Sigh.
He has grown SO much in the year.
I love your picture at Amandas place, by the way.
What a big boy now! It goes way too fast. 🙁
I just voted for you and you are in first place! Remind us to vote everyday, cuz I will totally do it! 🙂
It is just amazing how much difference a year makes. I did the same thing with my guy (compared pictures) and it made me a little misty.
