Am I? It was dreadful. He's been going (reluctantly at times) twice a week for 3 weeks now. Today I literally had to pick him up and take him in the hall. He clung to my legs, cried I don't want to go to preschool I want to go home. The preschool staff had to literally peel him off me as when I tried he clung on again. They held him back while I left when I was gone out of sight I was sobbing to and seriously wondering if I am doing the right thing. They promised they would ring if he didn't stop crying.
Anyway when I came to collect him after his 3 hours he said I don't want to go home!! Apparantly had stopped crying very quickly after I'd gone and had a lovely time painting etc. (Yes it is 3 hours as its a pilot area so the government has said they must offer 3 hours minimum. Wish they could offer 2.5 like the rest of the country but there you go) Major down side though he had no less than 4 accidents (had been potty trained since July very successfully until now!) Used all the spare clothes I sent (2 lots) and was wearing something they had spare and he even wet that! Has also had an accident this afternoon! Very with him as he has been dry for some time now so there is no excuse really he know exactly what he's doing I know he does. Always has an accident there at some stage and I feel he is regressing. THey have now suggested I put him back in nappys for a few weeks. Understand there reasons and will try this when he goes again but think its a backward step. He's 3 btw.
