I'm so excited for him AND myself. He gets to play with kids and learn all day and I get some much needed freedom. Although it has always been my dream, being a stay at home mom full time is very tiring. You feel your whole life revolves around your child and anything and everything you do has to be child friendly. I need some adult time, I need to be able to relax or run to the store for something real quick without having to pack a kid up, I want to make myself lunch without someone eating half of what I have EVEN though they have their own plate of food. I need a break. 4 years at home being "tied down" is definitely my limit. I think this will definitely help my moods, my patience and will definitely improve the time Josh and I spend together now- it's about quality time, not quantity.
Today is day 3 of school and it's still going great! He loves it. We have only had a couple problems thus far. On the first day he decided to "snatch" one of the toys at school and shove it in his pocket to play with at home. (he has since taken it back and apologized) and then today he decided he wasn't going to help clean up and in return, was unable to go play outside with the other kids. This is a learning process for him.
