Who am I kidding?

Yesterday, Finnean had story time at his preschool.  He was so excited until he got there and then was a bit overwhelmed.  Sounds about like what you are about to read...

I have been asked about 100 times...

Family/Friend/Random person: Is Finnean going to preschool this year?? 
Me: Yes, in September.  He is really excited.
F/F/RP: Ohhh, how are you doing? It will be so hard.
Me: I am doing okay, he is the first one so I think it will be way harder when the baby goes.

Yeah freaking right.  I almost pulled him out of preschool yesterday AND he hasn't even started.  I called the director to make sure that I had him in the right class (3 day vs. 2 days a week).  She was so kind and explained that 3 days seems like the best fit for him and his skills and that 5 day next year would be a great preparation for kindergarten.  WHAT!? 5 days!!  I ended up crying on the phone TO THE DIRECTOR and said, I think I am just struggling a bit more than I thought I was going to.  She gently laughed and told me it was normal and I am definitely not the first mom to get cold feet about sending their child to preschool.  We hung up and then she probably told his teacher that I am crazy. 

Awesome.  So he hasn't even BEEN to preschool yet and I am crying. 

His first day is September 5th.  I think he is going thrive at preschool and could use the group interaction.  It is for 6 hours and 45 minutes a WEEK.  He is not going to college.  I will be fine. He will be fine.  AND please, please I plead with anyone that sees me, do NOT say: he will be going to college before you know it.  You might get an overflow of tears that you might not be able to handle!  Good grief, wish me luck. :)
