No Tears.....4 1/2 Weeks Later

Today was Sam's 1st day with no tears at drop-off. Well, he didn't cry on Day #1 only because I think he was confused. He cried aggressively during Week 1.....the crying began as soon as he saw the school building. This tapered off in Week 2 to just a bit of crying when we walked in and more crying at his classroom. Week 3 he was just down to crying when he walked into his classroom. Last week...Week 4 his crying in his classroom only lasted seconds....basically however long it took me to get out of eye sight. Here we are mid-week of Week 5. Today I walked him in and told him to go check on Roger....his stuffed otter friend who sleeps with him during nap. Roger also now spends the night at school....he used to come back and forth each day. Today Sam went to go check on Roger....no tears....I about fell on the ground! I think his teacher was surprised too! Hopefully this is the start of a new thing for him. I think he is finally used to the transition from Mommy to Teacher. On another side note, he had been crying at drop-off on Sundays at church nursery. This past Sunday he surprised us with no tears. What a big boy!!! :)

Because I didn't cry when Mommy and Daddy dropped me off at Sunday school, I got to play on the cool playground and go down the big slide. :)
