When I finally put the camcorder and camera down (I had been recording since he woke up that morning!) to give the little guy a final hug goodbye, I could not have been more pleased with how quickly this kid pulled away from me yelling, “Bye-bye, Mama!” He didn‘t even look back. Too busy discovering new toys and new friends, he felt safe, secure and knew his mama and dada would be back… My husband and I looked at each other and without saying a word, we gave each other a knowing smile because we knew we’d done good. This kid was going to have a blast at Nursery School.
That afternoon, we joined the other parents in the hallway of the school. The classroom door opened and our boy was the fourth one out. His very sleepy, very happy eyes told the story of a boy who had had a blast indeed. Nap time came a lot later that day, and it lasted a lot longer as well! Needless to say, he’s looking forward to spending many more happy days at school.
