The First Day of Preschool 2012

Today was the day Rhyder started preschool.  Chad went to work for a little bit and then came home to drop Rhyder off at preschool with me.  Rhyder was so excited and couldn't quit talking about all the things he was going to do.  I was so glad to hear him so happy, but soon enough, his happy, excited self turned into a mad, sad little boy!  I was devastated and it was a good thing Chad was there with us because I began to cry and didn't want Rhyder to see me.  Rhyder was walking into the preschool so excited to be there and then he fell on the asphalt, which made him mad and he decided he wasn't going to go.  After a little persuasion, he went in and put his backpack up.  He proceeded to walk into the classroom and there it was...a little girl hysterically crying.  So, that made Rhyder upset and scared and he decided he was not going to stay.  But, after Daddy took him in and gave him to one of the teachers, it turned out to be a great day!  He said he had a lot of fun and met some new friends, a boy and a girl.  He said he painted and rode bikes and he even ate all his lunch.  He must have had a great day, because he came home and slept for 3 hours, which is out of the ordinary.  The first day was filled with lots of emotions, but we survived and it looks like it will be a great year at preschool!
