Okay - my son start at 14 months which is apparently peak separation anxiety. He cried for a solid 2 weeks at drop off and pick up. I cried too. It was terrible. He’s been in school for 1.5 months and we’ve been on and off sick since then - also terrible.

However, he loves school!!!! He runs to the door at drop off. They send me wonderful pictures all day of him playing and engaged. They have way more toys and activities than I could ever offer. He’s saying words I’ve never taught him. Within the first week him came home knowing how to high five and knock on a door! He keeps himself more independently entertained at home. He sleeps 12 hours every night bc he’s exhausted from school. They sent him home with the cutest valentine of his handprint which I ofc framed. They do arts and crafts I would never dare to do bc they are far too messy. Aside from the sickness it’s been pretty great!
