Congrats Troy!
Well it is official, Troy has made it through his first year of preschool. Although he was absent more days than he actually went, we are still very proud of him.
It was a struggle everyday we tried to get him there. He would cry on the way to his school (sometimes even threw up because of crying so much) then grab a hold of me until one of his darling teachers would finally have to pry him out of my arms and take him in. Several of the days I would pull away from school with tears in my eyes, too. Then on the last day of school, I told him this was his last day and boy did I see a huge change in him. I pulled into the school parking lot and he told me that he would be OK today and that I should stay in the car and watch him walk into the school by himself. What the ???? His cute teachers and his pediatrician all said that Troy would get over this stage and he was doing it more for the reaction from me than anything else. I just didn't think it would take all year.
After him doing so well on his last day, I thought the graduation program would be a piece of cake. Way Wrong! Troy walks into the building with us and just breaks down in tears. He doesn't want to be there, he doesn't want to sit on stage, he only wants to sit on my lap in the audience. So much for videoing him perform. Well right before the performance, cute little Tanner convinced Troy that he wants to be up on stage. But the only way he will go is if I sit with him. So imagine this 65 kids up on stage and then me. And if that wasn't embarrassing enough, the helper asked if I wanted to wear a graduation hat to match the kids. Thanks, but no thanks. Troy did awesome though! He said the pledge by himself and sang every song perfectly.
Any who, I am glad he and I both survived his 1st year of school. Next year should be much better since Troy and Carter will be in the same class. YEAH!

Congrats Troy! That is so hard for little ones and you. He will get better. I bet you looked really cute up there with a bunch of preschoolers. I just want to know if you sang the songs too?
That is funny. You should have wore the hat. :) I bet Clint was very proud of both of you!
Oh he is soo cute! Don't worry he isn't the only one. Oklan just finished his first year of preschool and he melted down pretty much the first 3 months of the year. He has warmed up now, but with the summer break I don't know what will happen! But congrats to little troy! I am happy you guys made it out alive..Hopefully we will to! Ha ha.
Good luck with kindergarten!
Oh cute Troy. I would have never pictured him like that in school. Hopefully he'll do better next year with little Car Car. Well, if it makes you feel any better he sure looks stinkin' cute in his little hat!
