Slowly but Surely...

Due to his December birthday, Cole won't be going to kindergarten until August 2015. Preschools are very expensive here, so it isn't something we could do for 2-3 years. I've done my best to socialize him at parks/indoor playgrounds but know his attachment to me (and Hayden) may be an issue down the line. He loved his gymnastics class at the YMCA when he was 3, and I was excited when I saw Coronado had day camps starting soon.

He was VERY hesitant about not having me by his side like I was last year. He asked questions every day... Pretty much chewed his nails down to nothing... He even teared up in the car before we went in. We made a deal: If he went in and participated, we'd go for ice cream. If he didn't like it, we wouldn't return the rest of the week.

Happy I wasn't fibbing about the observation window!



I owe this teacher a big hug. She saw that he was nervous, grabbed his hand and led him in.



Hayden stayed busy by demanding snacks every 20 seconds and taking selfies.

Promise kept.

Best part is he can't wait to return!
