First day down...

...and roughly 2500 more to go before grade 12 graduation. But I'll zero in on today and report that we had success! No tears, pee in the toilet, listening to instructions, doing a craft, gym time, sitting through one of the story times (and playing quietly by himself for the other group time), playing with all the boys and girls... He was talking about going from the minute I opened his bedroom door this morning, and as we got closer to the church where it's held, he was quietly saying, "excited! excited!" I was more anxious to leave him than he was for me to go. Of course. A big thank you goes out to Karen who gladly received my last-minute call for a playdate this morning and who helped me pass the morning by, and kept my nervous little mind focused on more enjoyable topics of conversation--and for a change, on Isaac! It was so delightful to just be able to enjoy being with him and to watch him play with/near Lucas. Natty was one content and engaged-in-play little boy when I picked him up. And the best part is, that he can't wait to go back! I think I could get used to this. : )
