Kalani's 1st day of Preschool

This preschool is part of Pacific University. It's their Education facility where students and graduate students teach the preschoolers.
Kalani was stoked at first when he got to school but when it was time for me and Kailoa to leave he started to cry. We stayed around to watch and make sure he stopped crying. Everyone was sitting around in a circle but I couldn't see Kalani. One of the ladies said he went to the bathroom so I waited to make sure he went back to the circle. I was waiting for a while and thought ok he should be done by now, sure enough I found him. He had snuck out the other door from the bathroom into the play area and was playing with trains. One of the teachers went and tried to convince him to go back into the classroom. He said "Kalani lets go back into the classroom." And Kalani said "No I want to play with the trains." He will give them a run for their money!
It was so hard to leave him. I felt sad and guilty. This preschool is an all day preschool. I only have him in for two days from 9-3pm. That's kind of a long day for me to sit and worry about him.
When I went to pick him up he was playing outside having a good time. I asked the teacher how he did, she said he was just fine. That's what they all say, right?
Right when we got into the car from picking him up I asked him if he liked school and he said no. I asked him if he wanted to go back to school and he said no. So we will try this out again and if he's not ready well take him out.
