First day of Mother's Day Out

On June 30th Wesley went to his first day of Mother's Day out. We talked about it for several weeks prior to him going. Mark stayed home that morning to have breakfast with us then left for work shortly after. We were not sure how he would react when I dropped him off but knew that he would get upset because we were leaving him. I began to put his bag on his hook and put his lunchbox down, then he lost it. He didn't want me to leave his lunchbox outside the classroom. I left him crying for his lunchbox and not me. The directory called me at lunch to tell me that he cried off and on the whole morning but was running around the room playing after lunch. He actually napped which we were surprised. When I picked him up for school the teacher told me that he wanted his lunchbox after lunch so they gave it to him and he laid down on his nap mat with his lunchbox and took a nap. He is very attached to his lunchbox. He will go on Thursday's during the month of July and then starting in September he will go on Tuesday's and Thursday's.

The week of Wesley's first day of "school" we practiced eating out of his lunchbox. He really thinks this is fun.
