A quick update on Zach and school - On Friday of last week I was able to drop him off in the morning and pick him up at 11 with nary a tear, so the teacher and I decided we'd try having him stay all day ('till 12:15) on Monday. It went swimmingly both on Monday and Tuesday, and then I think Zach woke up to what was really going on. We've had tears both yesterday and this morning, with lots of "Mommy, are you staying with me?" and "Please stay Mommy!" It's completely heart-wrenching for me, even though I went through all of this with Logan and I know from experience that Zach will be fine in a week or two, and indeed even now he recovers quickly once I leave the classroom. But it still breaks my heart to leave him when he's crying and asking me to stay with him. I'm dreading tomorrow, especially since he declared this evening that he wasn't going to school any more. Alas, the tuition contract Jason and I signed with the school says otherwise!
It is worth noting that, between Zach's school schedule of 8:30 - 12:15 and his nap, which starts at 1:00 and often lasts for 3 hours, the amount of time we spend together really has been abruptly shortened. I'm going to make a point to make sure he gets quality attention on the weekend and hope that helps (whether this special time is more for his benefit or mine, gentle readers, you may decide for yourselves).
