Nolan had his first day of preschool today. I was a little anxious about his adjustment to school, since we had a summer filled with medical appointments which have left Nolan a tad on the wary side when in unfamiliar surroundings.
Nolan's first day was absolutely wonderful. No tears, no lost hearing aids, and a successfully eaten snack. He colored, listened to the story, baked a pretend cake, and played his little heart out. The staff at this preschool is so very caring and careful to make sure Nolan can hear and understand what is going on in the classroom.
Separation was a non-event. I looked at Nolan and told him:
"See you later, Nolan."
He answered, "See later, Mom!" and happily continued playing.
Such a relief!
Today went so well, I am truly looking forward to next week. The parent segment of the program is wonderful, and filled with many friends. We get to discuss family traditions, toilet training, bedtime routines, money saving techniques, and a myriad of other topics of interest to mothers with small children. Thursday may become my favorite day of the week!
