Logan's Participation in Preschool

I have to say that there's maybe a little improvement to Logan's excitement about school. Okay, he's never excited about school. The other night, he came into my room at 4am and said he had a bad dream. I let him crawl into bed with Connor and I. I explained to him that it's okay to have bad dreams and it's only a dream. I asked him what the dream was about and he said "I dreamt about school. I don't want to go to school mommy" with that broken voice as if he's about to cry. I just said "awe, it's okay baby. School's not too bad. You have fun. Let's go back to sleep".


This is the first week his brother started school with him. I'm a little nervous because starting next week, they will be on a 5 day schedule. They are currently going to preschool 3x/week.


He's been asking me everyday if Connor can come back with him to preschool the next day (that's considered excitement, right?) :) The teachers have been saying that he's very over protective of his brother and shows him around the school. He said to me that he only likes Connor at School but doesn't like him at home. This was because I asked him why he picks on his brother at home. Little smarty pants said "there's kids at school but there's not kids at home so I don't like him. I only like him at school and take care of him from other mean kids" Sweet, I guess. Brothers will fight, right?


He got bit again yesterday at school (yes, again). I know that things like this will happen but he says to me this is why he doesn't like school. Other kids are mean to him. It breaks my heart. The thought of him feeling like people are mean to him. I can only protect him so much. As a mom, we want to protect our kids from harm physically and emotionally. Seriously, how am I going to survive when he's a teen?


I'm hoping things will get better now that Connor is with him.
