I feel a little silly and I am trying to chalk it up to pgncy hormones. I have been fine about it since I made the decision to put him in this school (aka Mother's Morning Out). I have no qualms about the school- my niece and nephew have gone since they were 2 and I know if the place sucked, my sister would tell me not to send N. He is only going to be going twice a week and I really think it will be good for him to socialize with other kids his own age.
But I know he's gonna cry cause he won't know anyone and I just remember the one time when my niece was 2 (and my sister was 8 months pg with my nephew) and I went with them to drop niece off at school. Niece kept hanging on my sister saying "Please let me stay with you. Don't you want to play with me?" OMG I don't know how my sister did it. Granted Nicholas won't be begging me to stay, but I am sure he will be crying and possibly hanging on to me. Someone tell me we'll survive.
Re: DS starts "school" next week and I'm getting teary over it
First, omg, what your niece did, how heartbreaking. I don't know what I would have done
Nicholas will be just fine. He will make friends in no time or at the least find a toy he is really into! We are moving in 3 weeks and once we get in, I want to find one to send Isabel to. Nicholas will be great and you will get through it too
I am starting Caroline in day school as soon as they have an opening. I'm not sure how I will feel, but I know that for now, I need a break. 4 hours, two days a week sounds like a vacation to me
I love my child more than anything on this earth, but we both need some time away from each other.
Here's hoping that Caroline and Nicholas learn to LOVE school!!
Thanks. I'm also hoping that the fact that my nephew still goes there (but in a different room) will be a little bit of a help.
The thing is I wasn't going to start him til the fall when he's 2 1/2, but I figured it would be better now to get him used to it before the new baby comes in a few months. Otherwise if I sent him after, he may think "Oh new baby comes, and mom ships me off". Plus it would give me a break fo a few hours and when the baby comes, I can have some alone time with her.

My thoughts exactly. You'll just love picking him up because he'll be so excited to see you after the short absence!
Nicholas starts Wednesday. We can cry together.
