Miraculously, he's fine. He had two very big bumps on his forehead yesterday that didn't look good at all but they seem to have gotten better overnight. It's amazing. I thought he would wake up black and blue today but he's pretty much back to normal.

Speaking of ok.....
Here's a picture of Ruby after the third or fourth day of school.

It's been two full weeks and things are not going as well as I would like. Week one was aces. Everything was totally cool. Week two - Ruby "doesn't want to go to school anymore". Ryan drops her off in the morning and every morning this week it's been a struggle. I realize that it's perfectly normal for kids to have a difficult time during a transition like this but that doesn't make it any easier. She's happy when I pick her up two hours later and the teachers assure us that she's doing great and cheers up after a few minutes, but I still feel guilty. I've been thinking about this a lot and here's what I've come up with - There's a lot of pressure on Ruby right now to grow up quickly. We've told her that she has to give up her soother when she turns three; that she has to poop on the potty at three; and now she has to get up and rush off to school every morning. No wonder she's protesting. Maybe we should back off and give her some slack. I want her to look forward to turning three. I honestly think she's dreading it. Remember a few posts back when I took her to see the preschool and she was puzzled because she thought she had turned three without any notification? That was a sign. She's stressed. And.... she's not even three yet!
OK, that's it. Pressure off.
Tune in next time to see what fun we'll have at her party!
