Hello :-)

O what a lovely little man , I would want to keep him at home with me , with a cute face like that it must be so hard to stay firm when you need to but we have to :-)

I had one that cried every single time , woke us in the night crying after 2 that went to School fine I did not know what had hit me !

It can be a case no they don't wan't to go , and so they try it on and bless them my Son has admitted it finally he used to have me on and he is now 26 but I would believe him :-D but they will do everything they can not to go and it tears at your heart strings seeing them so upset as it is a Mothers job to make them feel safe and protected and for me I felt I was letting him down yet I wasn't , I would have let him down had I not got him there :-)

So all I can say is you might have to ride the storm , it might not be a storm , try and make it exciting , a small treat maybe if he is good and above all remember that no matter how upset he is , you will feel crap possibly but what you are doing is for him and sometimes that hurts

Again though looking at the pic full of cuteness it is not going to be easy , but you can do it :-)

Take Care x

He is sooooo adorable! I cried when my lil one went to pre-k last year. That was hard and he didn’t want to go. He is attached to me, like I am to him. Eventually he will make friends and find it easier and more enjoyable, but your heart will hurt I know through this process. Even still with school he always would choose to be home with me and not go to school. Somedays he was ok to go but still said he likes being with me better. It’s one of those things that pulls at your heart strings. Best of luck to you and that handsome little guy.

I wish you and him the best. He’s my one and only so it was so hard. They grow up too fast.

It is because he is your last and they are always your baby no matter how old they are :-/ x

Oh my God, he's sooo cute. My daughter is 11 but I remember like it was yesterday her first day at nursery. She cried but I cried a lot more! I remember walking down the street being thankful that I had big sunglasses on haha.

With time I have learnt with my daughter that without meaning to we project our fears on to them. So, if you feel happy and relaxed that he's going he'll pick up your vibe but also the other way around.

It's sad because they grow up so quickly but just think about the fact that you'll have a little bit of me time which is also important.

Enjoy every minute that you are with him x

Adoreeble...this may sound Harsh to you, but it worked for Me, my daughter cried and cried I was told to Just LEAVE because they will know that this is what they do to get You to stay. The next day she didn’t cry because she knew that this was going to Happen. Or this will Just DRAG ON...Goid Luck 👍😷🙏
