i don't like preschool

How can 3 years olds come up with so many reasons NOT to go to preschool. It starts as soon as they open their eyes on a school day.

1. I don't like preschool
2. preschool yucky
3. I'm too little for preschool
4. go to preschool later
5. go to preschool when I'm five.
6. they don't put lid on my cup
7. I stay home today
8. I stay at Bubbies (grandma) today
9. I don't like my school shoes
10. Leave book bag at home

Shall I go on...no!!! The poor kids are so anxious about us leaving them at school, I guess they think we aren't coming back. I've read them the Kissing-Hand and a couple other books about school, they weren't buying it. This morning they watched The Wonderpets (they LOVE the Wonderpets) about the baby blow fish that was scared to go to school. And they said I go to preschool too. My mom said they were fine all morning and even while they were waiting to go into class. As soon as their teacher opened the door they started crying. Mrs. K. grabbed Kayla and Mrs. M. grabbed Chloe and off they went. My mom was spying at the window and they were fine, in a matter of minutes! I think they are totally playing us at this point to I don't know stress us out!!! It's day 8 of preschool and they might be on their way to actually like preschool...I sure hope so.

Fingers crossed. I haven't had any children that haven't wanted to go to school. I think it would break my heart if they put up a fight! :)

Ahhhh...what a bummer. We have had a good preschool experience so far. I hope things turn around for Kayla and Chloe.

This is my biggest fear about starting preschool. That is really funny their list. I think of all those things too when I don't wanna go to work :) I hope it changes for the better.

Oh dear. I hope things get better for them. My oldest had a really hard time in K and 1st grade. I am totally feeling for ya!

Oh no. I had the same experience last week with Vivian at library storytime. She eventually went with the teacher and was fine. I don't know what sparks it.
