I've had to start accepting that, in our house, no matter how great or desirable or exciting what new thing we are doing is, we are all just genetically predisposed to have some sort of general angsty freak-out regarding said transition. So, at our house, kids are excited about school & fall activities, and yet we are in the midst of what I'm guessing will be about 3-4 weeks of randomized crying & (now that Elder's almost 8yo) SIGHING, which will make me join in, but will all resolve itself just when I've come up with some great plan to make everybody happy but before I do anything, thus reminding me how little I'm driving the bus. <br /><br />Elder's in 2nd grade this year (also Montessori), & I'm just now figuring out that I could maybe relax into this pattern & reduce my own angst, a bit, that way. Oy vey. <br /><br />Congrats on being so ahead of the curve!etanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-27527275550311987862011-09-01T14:59:05.054-07:002011-09-01T14:59:05.054-07:00Awe.some!

It went both better than expected, and kind of as expected. Lots of advance preparation here too. He barely whimpered this am when DH and I left. But he apparently cried off and on in the am (though was fairly easy to comfort). The good news is that he wants to go back tomorrow. And he seems excited. First time ever being excited about a new daycare. Now we just have to figure out the commute. Toasting all of you with my virtual glass of wine (good, or not so good transitions alike).The millinernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-37817119006620081422011-09-01T08:02:09.101-07:002011-09-01T08:02:09.101-07:00Awesome Awesome Awesome! :)

He turned to me and said, "You can go now." My daughter used to get mad at me when it was my "parent helper" day at her preschool. "But I want to be alone with my friends and my teachers! Go home, Mama!" Much less wear and tear on Mama when they're okay with you leaving. I'm glad for you.<br /><br />So excited for September. It's the best month of the year here in Maine. No humidity, lots of sun, and all the tourists have gone home! Best of luck to everyone with all the transitions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-8814750301983822382011-09-01T06:30:43.629-07:002011-09-01T06:30:43.629-07:00I'm totally with you on the season.

That me likey!<br /><br />Glad that your boy did so well with the transition. Way to prepare him! It really seems to have paid off. I hope he always demands to go to school, straight through college!caramamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02327695885346537321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8482270755935730046.post-53514847970916488592011-09-01T05:58:45.211-07:002011-09-01T05:58:45.211-07:00Great news!
