First day of Preschool

Parker had mixed emotions about starting preschool today. He couldnt wait to get dressed and wear his new backpack but then kept saying things like "Im shy. How am I going to make friends. Mom dont leave me." But as we were driving to his school we talked about how to not be shy, how to make friends and that I would stay for a few minutes until he was comfortable... we got there and he kept right to my side. Every time I said I was leaving he would tell me he wanted to hug me (I swear I got at least 20 hugs/kisses - which Im not complaining.. it was rather cute!) About 5-10 minutes later he warmed up and I then left. After school was over, I picked him up and on the way home he told me how much he loves school and all about his day. I knew he would love it!
