Before School

After School

Well today was {Bug}'s first day of school. And believe me it didn't come soon enough... for him. Ever since we had back to school night 2 weeks ago, he has been asking constantly when he was gonna go to school. But it finally came. Hip Hip Hooray!! And it was everything he hoped it would be. He absolutely loved it and can't wait for Wednesday to come so he can go back. A couple of my friends blogs mentioned how their younger one had a hard time with the older one going to school. I really didn't believe that it would affect {Skunk} at all. I was SO wrong! As soon as I got back in the drivers seat to leave the school after dropping {Bug} off, {Skunk} instantly started in... "Bwover? Bwover? Where Bwover?" He was so concerned that we were leaving with out him in the car. I explained that we would pick his brother up in a few hours cause he was in school, but we were going to the gym and he could play with the toys. That distracted him for the moment. After I had been on the olyptical for 30 min and was starting on the weights I noticed {Skunk} looking for me out the window of the play room with tears in his eyes. As soon as he saw me he burst into sobs. I figured I could be done at that point and so I went in to get him. He ran up to me and started pleading for his brother. It broke my heart. We still had an hour and a half left. The lady in the daycare area told me he was just fine but at one point just broke down in tears in the corner of the room. He was really missing his best friend and brother. Then when it was finally time to go pick {Bug} up from school, and {Skunk} so excited to see him, fell asleep as we waited in the long line of cars all picking up their pre-schoolers. I was excited to see my happy lil' pre-schooler myself. He told me all about his day and he even earned a gold token that he gets to save for a treat at school for "getting caught being good". This makes me so proud.
