Preschool Open House

For the past few days my older son (OS) has eagerly anticipated his preschool open house. He was practically skipping up to the front door of the preschool this afternoon because he was so excited, while chattering all about meeting his new teacher Mrs. Forest and all the new students in the class. We opened the front door. I paused to look and see where the new classroom was. OS and I both stepped inside, and the door slammed shut on OS's hand. He was hysterical. We had a slight detour to get a boo boo pack. All was lost. OS was so upset about his hand, he had absolutely no interest in being at the open house. The worst part was that some of the other parents and the teachers thought he was having school anxiety. Reassuring comments were made about how school really would be fun. That made the crying worse, because I don't think OS thought that he wouldn't have fun at preschool. Hopefully Monday will be better.

    Oh here's hoping that Monday is better! Poor little guy, helpful parents bug me. It bugs me when people make assumptions about little's ones hurts and feelings.

    Both of my little monsters start preschool on Monday! (Jumping up and down) I'm so excited can't you tell! They only go one morning a week but it's the first time in 3 years that I can go out and do something all by myself on a weekday. I can't wait! Oh watch out Starbucks and the book store.

    Loved your home owner post, gave me a good chuckle, can you imagine having kids and going through that?

For those of us who didn't get an instruction manual with our babies and for whom parenting hasn't always gone as planned. On a more serious note this blog is about supporting a woman's ability to make her own choices about parenting including the choice, for whatever reason, to bottle feed her babies formula.
