The End of an Era

Today marks the end of my stay at home mom era. Marcus is making my transition back into the working world a little easier by being totally cranky these past two days. I am looking forward to thinking about things other than how to schedule my life around nap time.

Yesterday Marcus and I went to hang out at his "school" for a little while. It was nice. Several of the kids in his class are on vacation this week so it was a really small group. He was a little unsure at first and stayed shy and quiet the whole time, but he did really well. Within about 10 minutes he was hanging out in the middle of the group of kids playing with the toys they were currently using. I left the room to do some paperwork and he didn't mind one bit. At one point I went back in the room and left again. He watched me go and went back to his activity. He even painted a picture. (One kid just ate the paint.) The only thing that concerns me is that he is so much smaller and younger than the other kids. They are all 4-8 months older than he is. He is the only one not walking, and he is just so much smaller than them! I just hope he gets a lot out of it since most of the activities are beyond his ability still. I am sure it won't be long until he is mimicking everything the older kids are doing. Well, hopefully not everything. There was one kid there that had his hand in his diaper the entire time. He doesn't need to mimic that.
