Day one at preschool seems to have been good. When we got there, which was after normal arrival time, there were 20-25 kids there already. Sam's group has maybe a dozen (maybe less) 2-3 year-olds, and when I brought him over, two of them immediately wandered over and stared at him like some really neat kind of bug. They were very nice about it, and cute as buttons. By the time I left, maybe 10 minutes later, there was a neat little circle of maybe 7 little ones. Some of them said hi, but most just sort of gravitated to the new arrival.
My actual leaving was, expectedly, a little rough; there were some tears, some clutching, some pleading... Sam had a bit of a tough time as well. (Apparently he settled down a couple of minutes after I left.) It wasn't as bad as some I've been a party to, so I'll take that as a positive.
He was only there for 2 hours today, so it's hard to say what the big picture is going to be like, but he says he enjoyed, and that's a good start.
