Today marks the second consecutive week that Benjamin drove to preschool with a classmate and I didn't show up until snack time. He did a great job being on his own and today didn't even ask for me once. I honestly didn't think this would happen for us this year. When I have tried to sneak out on my non-work day in the past he through a complete conniption. I know that if I HAD to leave that I'm sure through a lot of tears we could have made this happen earlier but it is nice to know that he didn't have to go through a traumatic experience to get to this stage.
When I showed up he ran up and gave me a huge hug, smiled widely and proudly said "Mom, I didn't cry!!!"
Here he is before the carpool arrived with his spidey backpack and some artwork that he does for his teachers. This has helped tremendously that he has something to do right when he gets there and thankfully both teachers take great interest in the artwork as he hands it to them.
And after preschool we celebrated with a mini-cupcake. Here he is showing off his purple choice along with his post preschool stamp on his hand. Yay Benjamin :)!!
