sometimes it's hard walking out that door in the morning.
I had to leave Jake in tears this morning, poor kid was so nervous about preschool starting back up. He's in the same school, and the same larger class, but they changed around groups and teachers based on ages of the kids, so he technically has a new group and teacher for the preschool portion of the day. He was crying and saying that he is going to miss his old friends so much, and was going to bring in a sheet of stickers to give to them so that they "wouldn't forget him". I tried explaining to him that he will still see them at lunch, and during free play times, etc...but I don't think he was really processing that. I'm sure that at that age, it seems like the end of the world to not be in the same group as your close friends anymore!
This being a mom business is not always easy. 
Re: sometimes it's hard walking out that door in the morning.
Aw, poor buddy! Lanna's sad about her new class too. She has a lot of the same kids, but she loved her teacher last year and the couple of girls she was closest to graduated to K.
I also had a hard time leaving this a.m. DH is still on vacay, so I had to leave Wes with him at home and it did not go over well.
aw that's the worst. I'll never forget when Caileigh used to cry every morning when I dropped her off. Talk about a stressful start to your day.
Hang in there - if tradition holds they will both be smiling and excited at the end of the day & ready to go back tomorrow.
How time flies! Caileigh (9), Keira (6) & Eamon (3)
This! "That what doesn't kill you....yadda yadda"

My three sons!
I said this in the email I just sent you, but the picture of him on facebook was killing me!! I'm sure he'll have an awesome day, but that was breaking MY heart! Lol! Hang in there - I'm sure he's going to love it.
