Cole's Big Day

Cole is now officially a pre-schooler. (Jeff is going to get so much done with his six free hours per week!) We have never had any worries about separation anxiety with Cole, but I was a little disappointed in the drop-off experience today. We took the obligatory picture (he, grudgingly) and went in to class. He dropped off his bag and coat, got his name tag, and was off. No "bye, Mom". No "love you, Mom". Not even a hug! Oh, well.

After school, he waited in line for the bus like all the other kids (even though he doesn't actually ride the bus). His teachers said, "Look who's here." Cole looked at them, looked at the bus, looked at the other kids, and could not have cared less about Jeff. When asked if he liked school, he "vigorously nodded," according to Jeff.

This evening, he told me that he went to gym. They bounced balls and Mister Terry had a black whistle and when she blew it they put the balls away. He told me they had doughnuts and milk for a snack and that he had a great time. I think that's a successful first day.
