- Nursery School

His lunch box contents went over very well, and our son had a terrific time at Nursery School! He was very excited to see his teacher and new friends. After racing down the hallway to his classroom (he knew exactly where it was from open house and visits), and once inside barely noticed that Dad and I were in the room! He was clearly in his element and ready to do some serious playing!

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.
