school days.tuck edition

the T MAN had his first day of "school" today.

you would have thought i left him to a pack of starving wolves. 

let me preface this with the fact that he is apparently in a phase of separation from some of his favorite people. he is majorly distressed when his daddy leaves for work in the morning, when adam and krista have to go home in the afternoon, when grey goes to school, etc.  it's dramatic with a capital D.

today was no less. drama to the max. 

i prepped and prepared him for exactly what was going to happen. he was so big with his bag, holding grey's hand as they walked into school together. we got to his room and he walked straight in and said "bye mommy!" i was ecstatic! 

then, oh then...he realized i really was going to leave. i was holding will so he grabbed my leg and would not let go. i finally shook him loose and coaxed him back in his room and he slithered, yes slithered his screaming little body back out into the hall. i was trying to make a quick break with no such luck. 

once mrs. alissa peeled him off of me i left with a smile on my face confident he was going to enjoy himself. i KNOW without a doubt he is going to do fine. and this is just a phase. he has awesome teachers with nothing but fun planned for the year. i can't wait to see him run in that room ready to play in a month or so. 

let's be honest, we are at church a whole lot. he's been left with others a whole lot. he's going to love it when he can get past these first few times. i know it. we all need this time twice a week!

when i picked up little man, marsha, the director, told me she spent a lot of time with tucker today and he loves his mommy. he apparently talked about me a lot. and about the fact that i was indeed coming back to get him. that sweet thing has always been a momma's boy. i gave him lots of extra love when we got home.

oh my. we'll do it all again next tuesday!
