That it will all be ok.

Thad slept like shit last night and cried at school drop off this morning. I thought he would rally and maybe he did but....he didn't take a nap. And when Dh got there this afternoon he was bawling. Omg. Heart broken. He has been so happy at school!

He was asleep on Dh when I got home tonight.

I am sad my kid was sad without us. And a little part of me hopes that school doesn't hate us. It has to suck to have a kid cry like that. And because it is a preschool with extended hours instead of a straight daycare, I have this irrational fear that they are judging me for being gone all day. I don't know why.

Arg! He had been loving school and this week he is so much less happy about it.

I wouldn't worry about anyone judging. We had kids that were there when we opened and didn't leave until close to closing. You have to work in order to give Thad what he needs. Don't guilt yourself. I do it sometimes too.

I hope he is okay and got some rest.

That's rough, I am sorry   Is he feeling OK? Maybe the little guy had an off day? I'm sure he will be just fine next time!

[thedahliharpa]

It sounds like the initial novelty wore off and now he's processing things emotionally. You guys will be ok. The only reason I could drop D off like hot coal today was because I have the perspective of knowing it really will be o.k.. It will be, I promise.
Hugs!

I'm sure he was just having an off day.

Aw I'm sorry, that sounds rough. He will adjust though, it may just take him a bit.

Every baby/toddler has off days! He wasn't their first or last, I assure you. I hope tomorrow is a better day!

[spaghetticat]

Aww, he probably just had a bad day. It will be ok!

[katfco]

It really will be okay. Abby was at a preschool/daycare situation, and I really don't think you're being judged for how long he's there. Abby's had recommended limits for how long kids were there, but it really is okay.

And I'm sure he was just having a bad day. Keep an eye on him this evening though, because sometimes when Abby was weepy like that, it was an indicator that she was coming down with something and she was often sure to get a fever in short order.

I hope he does better! Can you call the school tomorrow mid-day to see how he's doing?

Thanks guys. I know kids cry and have bad days. It just kills me that he was crying at pick up.

He has been doing some serious
Teething so I am hoping it is that. But, I'm prepared for sickness. Yuck.
