Bryan and I had an action play for preschool. Courtney can be clingy sometimes and Bryan is a master at dealing with her when she is clingy. So we had it all planned that I would drop her off, Bryan would be in his car waiting to see what would happen, and if I needed help, he was going to step in and then I would leave. We were set.
Courtney ate a good breakfast, we got Ethan off to school, and then we left to run errands because I just couldn't keep her busy enough here that she would stop asking "is it time yet?!" every 2 minutes. Finally it was time, so we drove to her preschool and waited for the door (or the window blinds) to open as our cue to go in. I kept looking around for Bryan's car but I couldn't see it. I concluded that he was hidden so Courtney wouldn't run to him and want to skip out on preschool.
When the blinds opened, Courtney was so excited. She has 3 other friends from the neighborhood in her class and all 4 of them jumped out of their cars and went running for the door. Courtney didn't even say "goodbye." I was in complete shock!!
I looked at another mom from our neighborhood and she shrugged her shoulders and said, "well, that was easy" and then we both drove off. I passed Bryan just as I was leaving. He had lost track of time and missed it, so thankfully I didn't need his help.
When I picked the kids up, they all got in the van talking about what a great time they had and how they can't wait for next week. I was so glad. Yeah for preschool!!!
