Preschool

Today was the first day back to preschool for my son. I know I've mentioned that I work at his preschool but I did not bring him with me because of his jet lag. After 2 weeks, I decided it was time to go back into some kind of routine for him. I dropped him off at 8:30 and was not too sure when I was going to pick him up. I was just going wait and see if he could handle staying there more then an hour. I think class ends at 11 or 11:30. Being the over protective mother that I am, I called an hour later to find out how he was doing and the teacher's aid told me he was doing fine but he did cry a couple of times. I guess it's only natural for the kids to learn the rules and schedule of the class, but when I heard that he cried a couple of times, I decided that I was going to pick him up in half an hour. I know I should have just let him stay the whole time, but I thought one and a half hours on the first day back was pretty good for a 3 year old child. I know he has to learn that the world does not revolve around him, but he doesn't have to learn that right away. He has a lifetime to learn how hard the world can be. Right now, he is a child and I would like him to stay an innocent child as long as he can.
