Today was J's first day of nursery school. Last fall, when he cried because he couldn't stay with TW (and TW cried because he had to stay), the deal was that he could go once he learned how to use the potty. That happened over Christmas, but nursery school had a long winter break so today was his first day. Both he and TW were very excited this morning. Taking the 3rd is a much different emotional experience than taking the 1st, for everyone involved. There was no crying or clinging to my leg or me waiting anxiously by the phone to see if I had to pick him up early and wondering if he was doing ok--just a kiss and a hug and an "OK, see you later" while he kept on playing with the cool nursery school kitchen set. Sigh.....(that was a sigh of relief!) TW liked playing the elder, experienced brother role and TJ gave him sage advice before he left for school this morning: "J, don't be scared at preschool and whatever you do, DON'T CRY!" No worries. He's my social bug. Okay, now I'm getting slightly emotional talking about it, but I am looking forward to 2 1/2 quiet hours a week with just us girls. When I asked him what he did today at school, he happily said, "All sorts of stuff!" Good job, big (little) boy!

I thought that my 3rd would be the easiest and she has been the most clingy!! Ughh!!! I think it is out of sheer stubborness. She is finally getting over it now after a whole 1/2 year of preschool. Glad that your day was an easier transition.
What a sweet guy. And gotta love the older brother advice! Too funny!
