I was pretty nervous this morning as I anxiously awaited to hear how Evan’s day went. The map and his trusty friend Haley made a world of difference and he walked out today very happy and excited to go back tomorrow. A big thanks to the neighbor. She offered to go with him for the next two weeks if needed. My fingers are crossed for tomorrow.

Well after a good first day – the second day was a little scary for Evan. He came home and told me he cried in the morning because he could not find his classroom and it made him nervous. Once he found his class the teacher gave him a hug and had him be her helper.

Just when I thought it was going to be ok – he told me last night I needed to call the teacher and let her know he was not going to be there today. I decided to make Evan a map (he loves maps) of his school and the path he needed to take to get to his classroom. I also went down the street to a neighbor’s house who has a girl in 2nd grade and asked her to walk him to his class in the morning. Evan was very excited about both plans and I hope it makes for a better/easier start today.

His preschool class had a “Mom’s Spa Night” which entailed a relaxing hour with your preschooler as they gave manicures, massages, and pampered their mothers. Since I am generally the one who is involved with Evan at preschool I thought this would be a great opportunity for Evan to spend time with Amy at his school. As you can see Evan painted Amy’s nails and had a great time spending time with his Mama.
