Irritated with the Preschool schedule.

I have been really irritated with my son's preschool schedule lately. Currently he attends the ECSE Preschool class in Anoka. He loves the school and is doing Fabilious.

However, I have been quite upset lately with the class schedule he was put into. Currently he's in the P.M. class. How they determine this, I have no idea, nor do i want to know how they can determine that a 3 year old will be okay with the 1-4 schedule. Hello people! Do you not keep in mind that 3 year olds need to have naps still? I mean really, come on! Who is making this crazy decision anyway..

So, when Austin comes home from school, he's completely exhaused, screaming with frustrations, and is impossible to calm down. So, by the time we eat supper, he's basically falling asleep in his food by 5:00 p.m. I try to keep him up as late as I can, usually it's 7ish, so he's not up at 5 a.m. and then completely exhaused for the next day.

I think trying to adjust to this schedule is going to take time for me and for Austin. I think what we need to do is feed Ausitn dinner when he gets home from school, give him a bath, put him in his jammies, and hopefully he poops out by 7p.m.

Now, that would be just super if I could make that happen!

Uggh, preschool..Now I know why I didn't like school so much when I was younger... :)

Saying goodbye to my baby, as he moves onto preschool.

The day has finally come. I thought it would never happen, nor did I really want it to. I have been watching my 3yr old grow up for the past 3 years, and it is now time for me to let him go.

He is going to fly like bird, soar like an eagle, and achieve to the highest depths his world will let him go. I have no dough that there will be bumps in the roads ahead, but we will travel those bumps together. There will be times when you feel all alone, and no where to turn but during those times honey, just remember I am right there with you. Obstacles will stand in your way, but just know those obstacles no matter how large or how small they are, your little mind can over come them.

You will meet new people and develop friendships that will hopefully last a life time. There will be cruelty, hurt, and resentment that come along with those friendship. Always remember that you can catch more files with honey then you can with vinegar, and remember to just be the bigger person, and not let those times get you down.

Always remember that you can succeed in anything you do, and always strive to be the best that you can be. I will love you no matter how many times you fall down, no matter how many times you have to get back up and try again, or no matter how many times you show you just put your whole heart and soul into something and just could not make it work. I will always love you for you, and I am so proud of you!

You have come so far these last 3 years, to which I never thought you would. You have proven me wrong with your developmental disabilities, and that's just to show me, that you can achieve anything, and will succeed to the highest degree in your education.

Good luck today on your 1st day of school, and Enjoy yourself!!

I love you sweetie!
