Today was Rutherford's first day of preschool! I am very excited for him to be going to school - making new friends, different learning and play activities, fun field trips (we get to go to the pumpkin patch next month!) but I know it will be a little hard for him to adjust.
He did pretty good today. He seemed curious about everything in the classroom (and he had met the teachers a few days before so he gave Miss Aly a big hug when he saw her) but a little intimidated by some of the other kids. I feel like that's a big reason I want him in school - to build up his confidence around his peers.
He cried a little when we left but we stayed at the school in the office while the director, Kathie, did a few checks on him. She said he was a little upset but was playing well and doing art with the other kiddos. Miss Aly said Rutherford would play a little bit and then find her, give her a little hug and then run back to play some more. He's just such a little sensitive soul. I love that about him but I also know it's important for him to do this to come out of his shell a little with other kids.
We love his little school so much and they have so much for him to explore. I hope he blossoms over the next few months and gets excited about all the fun he's going to have!
