Mimi had the pleasure of dropping him off today because Chief had another long night tending to Gran. They arrived about 10 minutes after 9:00, and several other kiddos were just settling in as well. Ashton was eager to be at "school" like his big sister, so Mimi left him in VERY good spirits - ready to make new friends and learn. She hung around for a few minutes watching via the "looking glass" just to be sure . . .
So after running a few errands, she checked back on him again. This time the crew had just come inside from the playground, and it was a different scene. Per Mimi - the entire class of two-year-olds was in tears. LOL. Nevertheless, she didn't rescue him. He eventually settled down like most of the others and took a long nap - even without his "ya-ya" (paci). Mimi actually waited 30 minutes in the hallway because he was still sleeping at pick-up time. When they finally made it back to her house, Mimi sent this pic with the caption:
" First day over"
He's so proud of his little backpack and lunchbox. We'll see how day two plays out. Thanks for photos, Mimi. Can you focus a little more next time??
