Today was Dallas' first day at his new school here in Asheville. After an 8 week period of being spoiled at home with Mommy to take care of his every need and to sleep in he was not a happy camper this morning. We have been talking to him about going to school and making new friends but he has just ignored us. Yesterday I kept telling him that he had school tomorrow and he would say, "No school Mommy!" He did not eat one bite of breakfast and they do not have a morning snack so I was so worried that he would be hungry. The look on his face as I snapped this picture walking out the door says it all! After about 20 minutes of not leaving my side he spotted a train and made his way over to it. I hugged him goodbye and told him I would be back after lunch and had to force myself to let go of him, get up, and walk out the door with him crying and running behind me. The teacher scooped him up and I headed out. I was really looking forward to him being back in school so that he could play with others and I could have some time to get things done, but it was so hard to seperate this morning. It was such a sweet feeling when I picked him up though and when I asked him if he had fun at school he said, "yes mommy!"

The little face tells it all! I think he will come to enjoy school again after having fun and making friends--maybe Mommy can even bring a special friend home sometime for him to play with. Keep up the good work Mommy and Daddy! Love, Noah
