First day of junior preschool

I can't believe this day has finally came. Aaron started the new junior preschool program today at MACC. I am more willing to drop Aaron off at MACC because he is already familiar with the classroom, environment, and the teachers after attending MACC for almost a year. I remember he started going to the Tot time when he was about 19 months and all of a sudden he's already 2 1/2 already. Where did time go? :(

I didn't quite prep Aaron about going to school alone until this morning. I told him that I won't be able to go to school with him, but bow wow and teacher Kim are going to be there. He seems to be ok and even repeats that mama won't be going to school with him today.

We got to school and were greeted by teacher Kim's warm smile right away. Aaron settled in while I finished some paperwork for this program. He seemed like he was already comfortable and all playing with his favorite Thomas. Teacher Kim soon told me to say my good bye and Aaron gave me a hug and said byebye then off I went. He didn't seem to care too much that I was leaving as I've been telling him all morning that I will be back after picking up something from the store. Daphne and I then went to the store and bought the kids macaroons for reward.

We went back to the school on time to pick up the kids and they were happy to see us. Teacher Kim told us they were doing great in school without us and I am so relieved that Aaron didn't have a melt down trying to find me. It's such a mixed feeling that he is going to school by himself yet I am not his world anymore. Please don't grow up so fast Aaron, mama still wants to spend all the time with you. :)
