He is used to sleeping in but when we woke him up this morning he was excited.
Instead of having to gently beg him to eat his breakfast, he ate it promptly.
He got dressed without protest and minus the usual naked laps around his room or our petite house.
He wore his big boy underwear and I held on to my optimistic hopes he would follow the lead of the other kids in his class and become even closer to being 100% potty trained.
He joined in with the other boys in his class and didn't look back. (I tried not to linger too long hence why I am not sure if there are girls in his class)
I wasn't sure if lunch was provided or not. I knew snack was twice a day but learned lunch wasn't so I ran home to make him a quick lunch. I didn't have a meeting until 10 so I had a little extra time before work. When I came back they were walking in from the playground. I could see the teacher had her hands full but was doing her best for the first week. The boys lined up to wash their hands and when they finished the Spanish teacher was welcoming them into the class by singing a song in Spanish. Jack was eager to follow in line and sat on the carpet mesmerized by the singing. He again didn't even notice me. So I left him happy sitting on the carpet with his new friends.
After my meeting it was hard not to stop by to check on him but I needed to get to the office. My focus was off but of course by the time 3 rolled around I was finally getting some work done and had the option to stay instead of making a mad dash out of the office as usual. I stayed until 5 and picked him up at 515.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked in and he was still in the same shorts I had sent him in that morning. Meaning NO ACCIDENTS!! He was still wearing he same underwear as I quickly inspected him. I immediately ushered him to the bathroom where he gladly peed in the urinal-another new experience for me. Later that evening he continued his success. I have sort I been waiting for preschool for the past few weeks I knew Jack would thrive and hoped his potty training would be successful.
Now I'm being super optimistic and I know I still have many more accidents in my future but things are looking up and I'm happy!
I could tell he was a little tired but he was really excited to tell me about his day. We picked up snow cones from the stand on the corner as a special treat. Then went to Granny and Bopas to tell Bopa all about Jacks first day at his new school!
We enjoyed the rest of the evening and Jack went to bed before 8:30! Another new trend I hope that sticks around.
(another late night post-hence why I gave up blogging in the first place-this is better then nothing I hope!)
