Mario's First Day of Preschool: A New Chapter

Yesterday was Mario’s first day of Preschool, and I can hardly believe it’s finally here – Yay! In preparation, we attended an open house on Monday. Mario had fun exploring the toys and meeting the teachers, and he was proud to give them the cookies he helped bake.

However, yesterday morning, Mario did not want to leave the house for his first full day. He cried and pulled off his shoes and socks, thinking that would keep him home. Clever, but I’m smarter than that. Over the past year, we’ve become quite attached, as I took a break from my career to spend this precious time with him before Preschool started.

Despite his initial resistance, once at school, Mario immediately warmed up to his teacher, who read him a book. Soon after, several classmates joined in. He smiled at me, giving me the go-ahead to leave, and spent the day having a blast. When we picked him up, he was all smiles. The teachers mentioned that he had so much fun playing, he didn’t even want to stop for lunch. Mario quickly adjusted, now it’s my turn… :-(
