A Great Morning!!!

I just had to post about the great

morning Marshall had today at school!

We got out of the car at NS and

as usual, M was adament that i carry him into the school.

I brought him into the classroom

where we hung his new Toy Story backpack

on his designated hook.

Then M went to the train table and i went with

him. He will usually play, but he looks

worried about me leaving and will come

over to sit with me or hug me

for the first couple of minutes.

Today he seemed more at ease.

Then Warren came and i saw Marshall's face grow sad :(

I said, "Mommy's going byebye now ok?" "I love you"

and kisses, kisses, kisses.

Normally when i pull M off of me to hand to Warren,

his eyes are full of tears and he is wiping

them away.

Today when i pulled him away, no tears!!!

He still looked a bit sad,

but he didn't cry.

As i was walking out the door i heard him start

to run and i saw that he was running to a play

area and was not running towards me - awesome!!

When school was over i went to pick up

Marshall and although i heard him

whining and yelling a bit as

i waited outside the door,

Warren came out with M and said that today

was a great day and that each day

is better than the one before!!

How cool is that?!!

My son... is adjusting.

Fantastic!

Marshall was sitting on my lap while i talked with Warren

who told me that M went to the work room with

him today and he did a puzzle and played with

playdoh. Also, Warren said that M

peed in his diaper and went to his bag, grabbed a fresh diaper,

came over to him and said, "poopoo"... which M often

says for peepee :)

Warren was impressed and sure enough, M needed a change!

I'm so happy that Marshall is getting so comfortable

with Warren.

Then we were about

to leave and Marshall didn't want me to put him down

and i started to tell Warren how frustrating it is that

since we started school, M refuses to walk from the car

to the school and back afterwards.

I told him how yesterday i tried to get M to walk when

we were leaving and how he was freaking out

yelling at my legs and how i tripped a bit and then D tripped

over me and fell and scraped herself pretty good,

and how awesome it was to now have 2 crying

children for our walk back to the car. lol.

Anyways, so i'm done venting and

we are going to leave (it is just M and me)

and M won't let me put him down...

but i show him his backpack to carry as i put him down

anyways and he starts to carry it but then hands

it back to me and then runs over to the outside door!

I keep saying, "Good boy M! You walk!"

and he lets me push the door open and we get outside

and i'm just waiting for him to start whining "up"...

but he doesn't.

He just walks!

So started to run a bit thinking that he would want

up any minute, but he just smiled and ran

next to me and then when we got to

the little hill he slowed down and let me

take his hand and together...

we walked.

Yeah!!!

This is similar to the other day when M was listening to

me talk about his flipflops and then he went

to put them on to show off his skill.

He wanted to prove me wrong to Warren about having

to carry him every time.

Clever. lol.

So proud of my little man!

Hopefully this starts a new daily routine :)
