Cole started preschool this week in the Ready for School program at the family resource center. It is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons and there are 12 kids in his class. A couple of them I know for sure will be in his school next year so I'm hoping he'll have a few familiar faces next year.
Yesterday was his orientation. Jeff and I went with him. He's not an overly outgoing little guy, but he seemed to do ok. I worry about him where he's so sensitive and sometimes he tries so hard to chum up to other kids and they don't pay much attention to him. I hope he can make some little friends all on his own with this and without Mommy's help. I'm trying very hard to step back and let him fend for himself. I guess with this, I don't have much choice since I won't be there!
I think preschool will be good for both of us. It'll give Cole a chance to test out being on his own and give me a step towards letting him grow up. I tried so hard not to cry yesterday when he jumped right up and joined in with the bean bag rock song. He looked so much a part of something...even if it was just a group of 12 4 year olds. But still. I think he'll be ok, and so will I.
