There is my sweet boy yesterday smelling the flowers I bought to spruce up the dreary day on Tuesday. He was so happy when I came home from working with flowers! It was really sweet. And then the next morning during breakfast, voila! He was sniffing away and enjoying the view. He mowed down a good sized serving of oatmeal with blueberries, and 2 eggs, and then he asked for another egg! That was one big breakfast!
Today we visited the last preschool I plan to visit. Theo did really well. He seemed to blend right into the environment and jumped into a few activities and then followed the direction that the class took. It was really nice to see and reassured me that this is a great next step for him. Not that I didn’t think it would be. I was a little worried this morning when he seemed a bit cranky how he would be going into a foreign environment. He was really happy when we were there. Now to wait to hear from the two remaining schools. (We were already waitlisted at the Montessori Day School)
However, once we got home, and he saw his babysitter Sarah waiting for us, he flipped out. He really loves Sarah a lot so I know it has nothing to do with her. The past week he has seemed to have developed a bit of separation anxiety when I’ve gone to work. I’ve been pretty surprised since we’ve luckily never had to deal with this before. He threw a pretty major fit saying, “Sarwah gonna leave, I no like Sarwah!”. Obviously something is going on. Is it all the preschool talk? Is it just developmental? He was okay after I left but he was definitely off today. More pooping issues to worry this Mama 🙁 Ho hum. We are trying really hard to get through some of these bumps that are going on right now. Trying to stop and smell the roses. Remembering the adorable little things like last night when I asked Theo what he wanted for dinner and he said, “enchilada tonight?”. I said “yes!” enjoying that I will only have to heat up last night’s leftovers and then he said “I love you!” in the sweetest of ways. Or tonight when I was singing “Only Love Can Break your Heart” to him before bed and he was singing the words along with me.
My sweet boy.
