Nursery/pre/school/expensive daycare

Whatever you want to call it, I call it "school" and it's where Angus
will go 2x/week starting tomorrow! Tomorrow and the next day are
actually half days, but it's a good way to transition to having new
people around you. It's going to be weird to see him with a dozen
other kids and 3 teachers. I hope it goes well. I'm quite nervous!

How is he going to sit and eat his meal at a table without being
buckled in? What are they going to do when he screams "done, done,
DONE!!!!" when he's done? How is he going to take a nap? What happens
when he crumbles and cries because he doesn't get his sippy cup handed
to him immediately? Oh man. So many questions. I wish I could send a
tape recorder with him so I could listen to what happened. I think
it's only hitting me now that I will have no idea what is happening
there all day. I don't even want to think about that.

I bought him a blanket this weekend since it's on the supply list - I
bought 2 of the same. He seems excited to have it and I hope it helps
him feel comforted. He doesn't really have a lovey or anything, so I
guess we will just pick something and deem it that since it's also on
the list! At least I took the day off so I can be there with him. It's
only a few hours and I will try to lay low, so t's easier. Wish us luck!
