Taking a Step Back...


My dear Joshua has had a hard time transitioning into spending time at school. He wrapped his arms around my neck and squeezed as we walked to his classroom saying he didn't want to go.

I slid him off into the arms of one of his teachers.

Later I peeked outside to see him wandering around teary eyed.

During their nap one of the teachers came over to make her lunch. I could tell by her look Joshua was struggling. "He's having a rough day." He was defiant about using the bathroom. Peed on the floor. Wandered around teary eyed saying, "I just want Silas." and "I miss my family." Needless to say the tears flowed freely from this momma upon hearing that.

When I went over to get him I was greeted with the best embrace ever!
"I love you so much Momma! I missed you and Daddy and Silas all day. I love my parents and my Silas."

The heart twisting continued.

Later Silas was fussy and getting ready to eat when I heard Joshua in a sweet  soft voice say, "Don't be sad! I love you so much!"

At school the teachers suggested going to pull-ups instead of the undies. With all the changes happening for Joshua using the bathroom is something he can control, so for now we're going to give him some control and let him realize, it's much easier to just use the toilet.
