Kueffer started the fall semester of Parent's Day Out last Wednesday and could not wait! Okay, neither could Mommy! :) He started going every other Wednesday last winter and went every week for a couple of months this summer and LOVED it. Kueffer was so excited to go- even though he really did not realize where we were going. Once we arrived, he remembered and was so happy...until we reached his room. In his words- Uh Oh! In his room were 5 screaming little ones! They are of the age when they realize that Mommy and Daddy are leaving them so they were NOT happy. Kueffer who usually has no problem being dropped off, just looked at Mommy like 'Um, what is going on here?' but never cried when I left. Actually the director said that once I left, he was running around the room playing and laughing while the others were still crying. Hey, all the toys to himself- great!
Okay, he did not cry when I left, but 'now for the rest of the story...'
At pick up time, Mommy walked in the door of the school and heard someone kicking and giggling while taking a 'carriage ride' in the school buggy...it was Kueffer! He smiled so big when he saw Mommy- well, I thought he was smiling when he saw me...he was actually smiling at the Daddy that walked in behind me! He never even noticed his Mommy! Once he saw me, he smiled and 'introduced' the little girl sitting beside him in the buggy. (He rubbed her arm- what a flirt!) He let Mommy know that he was not ready to leave - by protesting when I went to get him out and hold him- Yes, I was the Mommy of the child that was fine at 'drop off' but pouted when it was time to go home!
We are so happy that Kueffer loves his 'school' and they care so much about our son. His assistant in the room he was in last year even had to go visit him last week!
