My big boy Gavin!!!

Gavin has been going to Mother's Day Out for over a year. This year he is going three days a week; Monday, Wednesday and Friday. You would think that after all this time at school he would be excited and used to it and it would not be a big deal. NOT THE CASE. He has cried pretty much every day that I have dropped him off. Some days are better than others. Some days he just complains on the way there; says he has a bellyache or that he thinks school might be cancelled today (he is a smart 3 year old). Other days he hangs on my legs while his teacher has to un-attach him from me while I hold a 30 pound baby (Nolen). Everyday when I pick him up he informs me that he did not cry....he just whined or he was gonna cry but he didn't and asks if I have a treat for him. After I tell him that whining and hanging on my leg are still "unnacceptable" behavior he tells me of his intentions to not cry next time. And yet....he still does.....until yesterday. FINALLY, HE DID NOT CRY!!! His latest treat request has been a harmonica (which he refers to as a remonica). So, yesterday I was so happy that I went to Cracker Barrel and got him a harmonica....he has played "song" after song on it and even slept with it last night. Now, he has cutouts of trucks from toy magazines hanging on our refrigerator so I know what to get him next time he doesn't cry. So....we will see what happens tomorrow. I am really proud of him though.
