Boy, I didnt see that coming- Gregory was so excited all morning, he was smiling and laughing and talking about going to his new big school...then the second we parked and I went to get him out of the car- I could see the anxiety flood him and he started hiding behind the far back Van seats and crying saying please just take me home mommmy -it took 10 minutes just to get him out of the van and through my tears I basically had to drag him out and then another 10 minutes to make it through the parking lot- he was crying and sobbing soooo hard- I could tell he was so scared and so full of anxiety and he kept saying Im scared, I dont want to go then I finally got him to go into the school but then he sat on the bench and cried some more begging me to take him home and then hid under the bench saying just let me hide, just let me hide...finally with a few bribes I got him to actually enter the classroom hall- we stopped along the way and had hugs and chats at least five times both fighting back the tears and he just kept begging me--he refused to look up; the whole way down the hall he kept his eyes covered with his hands....and then finally me and the teachers aide got him to walk into the classroom, he still wouldnt take his hands off his eyes and he just grasped me for dear life saying mommy you stay in pre-k too His teacher saw my heartbreaking and came to my rescue and made him class helper and hugged him and reassured him- I stood there not knowing whether to stay or go- I didnt want my baby to feel like I stranded him...but she reassured me and told me it was better if I go, she had me sit in the office and wait for the call that all is well....I cried so hard on my way to the office that I still feel the puffiness in my eyes---> that was absolutely heart wrenching and my heart goes out to all the moms that have to do this on a daily basis...I have been so lucky with my girls- I cried with them because they couldnt wait to go and I watched them walk in all grown and independent and I was a proud momma...and now I cried for my youngest, my baby boy because my heart broke for him that I couldnt make him not scared, that I couldnt take away his anxiety...PLEASE God let him have a wonderful day and let every bit of his anxiety go away and know that Mommy will be right here when he gets out....Cell phone on full blast and at my hip all day just in case.....my baby isnt a baby anymore;{
