Preschool Update

Maggie did great last week with school! She got a little upset on Friday after she went to Baily's, saying she missed Rob and I though. I figured it was probably because she was overly tired since she woke up a few times throughout the night.

Yesterday, she did fine again. Rob was out of town for the day, so my parents came down and picked Maggie up from school, which I think definitely helped.

Today, not so good! She had tears in her eyes when I dropped her off at school, Miss Suzy said she cried on and off all morning, and Baily said she cried pretty much all afternoon, too. When I asked Maggie about it tonight, she said she wants me and misses me. Talk about breaking my heart!

She and I had a big discussion tonight about how to handle this. We talked about the main things I figured were probably causing this and how we could fix them. I think part of the problem is she is overly tired. So, we will be making bedtime earlier. Another part is that she has a cold and isn't feeling the best. So, we are giving her medicine. Another part of the problem is that she is used to having me around from this summer. I tried to tell her that I get to drop her off everyday at school, I get to pick her up when she goes to Baily's house, and we get every evening together. Hopefully that helps. The last thing is that she is probably still adjusting to the 2 big changes (school and daycare). There is not really anything I can do with that other than reassure her and give it time.

For her sake, and mine, I hope she gets through this quickly!!
