Preschool-itis?

Is Preschoolitis even a thing? I mean I know that Senioritis is b/c let me tell ya I had a bad case of it! By the end of my Senior year I was doing everything I could to not have to go to school! I was ready to be done and outta there, luckily Daddy covered for me a few times with the mean ole people that thought I needed to be there but it was a tough few months there at the end. My grades even almost suffered. But I still made it through and graduated in the top part of my class, with a Texas Scholars Scholarship and went on to even more school.

Just like Makynzi's having to do now. And she hates school! Seriously, this girl loved it for the first 3 weeks and then just like that she's done a 180* and cries every morning that she doesn't want to go. Now that it's the weekend she's thrilled! But if she was to have school today, she would be crying already and telling me her tummy hurts. I did read that a large number of preschoolers are too stressed out about school that it makes them nauseous but it doesn't say whether or not to keep sending her. We have taken her out of Mother's Day Out two years in a row because she cried and didn't like it. Well one day we aren't going to be able to take her out so basically this PreK year (which she needs) is the one that we are fighting our way through.

And I hate it! I hate leaving her crying every morning . I hate how she is so upset she can't even eat and I hate when I pick her up how red her eyes are from crying all day.


I know that she misses me and her daddy and wants to be home with us but most of all, she misses her baby. Not my baby, her baby. Jaxon is officially her baby. I even tried talking to her about that yesterday.

Me: You know Jaxon's my baby right?
Her: No, he's not. He's mine.
Me: But you know he came out of my belly not yours, right?
Her: I know but he came out of mine too.
Me: Baby, you're Jaxon's big sister, he's my baby.
Her: Oooooh.... can we have that Halloween Bucket? One for me and one for Jaxon.

That's how she ends conversations she doesn't want to be having....changing the subject....it works for now but the conversations will have to be had one day. Every time some one talks to her about school the same thing happens.

We even discussed Jaxon going to school too so that it would be easier on her if she knew he went one day a week. Let me tell ya, this wouldn't be easier on me because as much as she cries going to school, he does the same when left in the nursery for church and MOPS. He just doesn't like being away from family is all. She thought it was a good idea....IF...he could go to her school. I tried explaining that wouldn't happen and she changed the subject again. She's gotten good at that LOL

But one day I know she will be home and happy and smiley and everything will be okay again. She will be ready to go to school like this week never happened. Just can't this day come sooner than later? Because if it doesn't, we are both likely to lose our minds or just cry it out together.
