it is a change for you as well as your child.  

I just put my son in preschool last week.  He went to school at the Y two days a week and all his friends have gone onto to preschool so I tried to do the same.  He didn't like the idea it would be new teacher/kids/school etc. so I put him in new school two days and kept him in old school three days but old school schedule doesn't start til next week.   

So last week and this week he was to go to new school only.  He wouldn't let me leave the first day (I snuck out while he was busy coloring.)  The next day he told me he would be fine in the car and then when I went to leave same thing as first day so again I waited til he was busy.  I hate leaving like that as it is sneaky.  This week I brought him to school and he didn't want to go cause his sister was home sick from school so he wanted to stay with her.  Then he was okay to see her after his school til we got there and another boy was crying when he had to get out of the car -- so he started crying!  He teacher had come to the door for the other boy so she came back for my son.  He wouldn't stop crying but teacher said it would be okay -- then he was fine after I left.  When I picked him up he blew his new teacher a kiss goodbye!  Unfortunately the other day he was to go he was sick. 

So we'll see what happens Monday...I know he will be fine at old school but the new school is taking him some getting used to.  (I think it is also because they are more structured.  They sing Pledge of Allegiance and count etc. Plus the old school his teacher is 18 years old whereas his new school the teacher is older than 40 year old me!) ;-) 

So hang in there!
