first day

Well, today was the big day!  Oliver's first day of preschool!  The morning started off pretty rough.  As soon as he woke up he was saying that he wanted me to stay with him at school.  Then he had a huge meltdown because he didn't want to wear the shirt I put on him.  It was the coolest vintage western shirt that I have been saving for a special occasion but I decided it wasn't worth the fight.  He chose this striped vintage shirt instead.  Once he was happy with his outfit we headed to the car.  He saw his favorite Cars blanket in his bag and asked why we were taking it.  I told him it was for nap time.  Here comes another fit.  Oliver doesn't take naps very often at home anymore.  I assured him he didn't have to sleep, he just had to lay there and rest (his teacher said he slept for an hour and a half).  So, off we went to school.  We got there and they were sitting on the mat singing and the teacher asked him if he could come help her with the pointer.  I barely got a hug and he was running to Ms Michelle.  I picked him up early since it was his first day and Ms Michelle said he had a great day.  She said he was a great listener and really enjoyed the science table where they looked at different bugs.  Yay Oliver!!
