(Sorry this is a bit long)
So, I'm currently a SAHM mom who is planning to o back to work soon so we are starting DS in daycare. It's hard to find room in good ones mid-year by me so he's signed up effective Sept. and I will be looking for work as soon as he's adjusted. We've had lots of issues with separation in the past and the few separation programs I attempted to put him in (the short two hours 1-2x per week kind), he was so upset, they told me he was no ready. He's been good the last few months about "school" and playing with friends at school. He carries his backpack & lunchbox around pretending he's going to school. He loves his Maisy Goes to Preschool book. I was really hopeful.
But this morning - we were supposed to go for a one hour intro day, I was going to stay with him. I was excited & told him where we were going and he flipped out. Started crying hysterically and then threw up. I cleaned him up and got him re-dressed and we left and he started crying again and threw up in our parking area right before we got in the car. By the time we came back home, changed him again (physically resisting tooth and nail), and got there most of the hour was gone and he was semi--asleep when we got to DC.
I don't know what to do. I'm seriously dreading Monday when we go back. Any suggestions?

Re: Daycare adjustment
I have a Daughter born 2/26/2013. She is pretty much amazing!
The place requires 2 half days with the parent for children who are going there for the first time. I guess it's meant to be a bit of a tour/intro concept. So Monday & Tuesday, we'll be there together for 3-4 hours a piece. After that, it's full day for him.
Part of the problem may be that DH is home from work this week (we're getting some work done at home) so DS had some extra attraction not to go. That'll be done by Monday so hope that helps.
