Liam's 1st Day at Preschool

I am thrilled beyond my wild optimisms that Liam's first day in preschool at Bright Beginnings went "fantastic" as his teacher, Ms. Wanda said. After a lot of research for the perfect place and teacher for Liam, to foster his independence and help come around with his shyness, I was certain this was the place. Close to home and yes, at a much higher cost financially, I can say it is well worth it - so far.

Indeed, we did prepare. With Liam, one thing we've learned from the past three years, is that we must always prepare him and only then can we succeed. Him and I went to visit the school several times, and the bunny Butterscotch that lives there, we hung out in the classroom with Ms. Wanda, in the playground and we talked a lot at home for the month and a half that he was out of school. And it worked.

His first day he shed some tears but he was great. He helped with snack time, as there are many chores to do there like help be line leader, line holder, watering the tree they planted together, etc. He told her that he was coming back tomorrow and he told me that he had fun when he got in the car. All the car ride home he told me what he did there and what he played with. It was so cute. I think this is the best place for Liam. When we were leaving there he ran up to her and embraced her in a way that he does for me, like a leach and she spun him around and tickled and kissed him all over and he loved it. His response to her tells me a lot.

I have finally learned to prepare and then "do" whatever the task is with Liam, and then throw a prayer to my Buddhas and the universe, then let go. What will be will be. And thus, it is. And I am thankful.
