Little Man Going to School

My little man starts Pre-K next week (tears and weeping). I have lived in denial since we received notification of his acceptance, but now the time is drawing near and I have to start preparing myself and Jordi.

My husband has stayed home with Jordi for the last year or so and before that Jordi stayed with a family member, so he has never been in a school or daycare enviroment. I know, I know - he really needs Pre-K. "It will be so good for him." I am not second guessing the decision to send him, I am worried about his adjustment and mine and Kevin's for that matter.

Up until the last few weeks Jordi has refused to stay with anyone but Kevin and me. When he thought he would have to stay somewhere without us he would run to the car and lock the doors (no worries, we had the keys). But he has started staying with my mom at least once a week to get him geared up to be seperated from us.

So I am worried. Very worried. I am expecting a battle the first day. And lots of tears (from everyone). But everyone says "He will be fine after you leave." They don't know my child. He is persistent. What if he cries all day? What if he is scarred for life? What if he doesn't recover from the trauma of being left at school? I know, I'm overracting (as usual), but I am still very, very worried.
