Drew has been so anxious to go to school. We took him at the end of last year to register him for preschool and it has been a big topic of conversation in our house ever since. Drew needed to be potty trained before he could go to school. All through the summer while we've been trying to get him to use the toilet whenever he went in his pull-up we told him that if he wanted to go to school he needed to go potty in the toilet and not in his pants. It has been a great motivator but as time got closer and we bought backpacks and the girls started going to school and he was left home he started to get upset. He would ask every day when he got to go to school and he would wear his
backpack around the house so he was always ready. When we would leave the house I would say "It's time to go" and he would always answer "To school?" While he was sick he did not talk about school much but one day when he was feeling
OK he started asking about school again. Its hard to explain to a 3 year old the concept of time and days so all I could tell him was soon and not yet. One day he did not like that answer and being tired and not feeling well he started throwing a fit saying that he wanted to go to school NOW! I told him it was not time and that he had to wait and walked away. When I went back to check on him he had fallen asleep on our kitchen floor with his backpack as a pillow. Drew living with two older sisters, and always thinking that he can do whatever they do has had such a hard time watching them go to school and I could only tell him not yet, hes been a sad boy.
So the day before school I finally got to tell him that he could go to school tomorrow on
Tuesday. I told him that he would get up, have breakfast, brush his teeth, get dressed, comb his hair and then I would take him to school. He
woke up bright and early ran into our room and told us it was
Tuesday and that he needed to brush his teeth and get dressed. He was so excited you would of thought that it was Christmas morning and he was telling us that Santa had come. So we got him ready, took pictures (of course), and took him to school.
He talked "His School" the entire drive and was so happy to get out of the car and put on his backpack. There was another little boy that arrived the same time we did (he was a little shy and seemed real nervous) but Drew waved to him said Hi and then told me that he was his friend like he just ran into him and was introducing me to him. He really cracks me up some times. I was so proud of him, he walked right in started looking around, hung up his backpack, and talking to his teachers. He was finally there, School what he had been anticipating for so long.
After school he was all smiles and so excited that he had gone to school. He somewhat told me what he did but had a very nice art project that we hung on the fridge. My little man is growing up, he is such a neat little boy and so much fun to be around. I love you Drew-
BA-loos!
