annissamazing | Pre-school orientation (Reply)

We went to Dominic's pre-school orientation this morning. The kids played together in a large room while the adults were put in an adjoining room and forced to sit on tiny chairs while we read the handbook as a group. The door between the rooms was left open in case any kid panicked and wanted to be with his or her parent. The adults were instructed to let their kid(s) know that they would be right next door and they could come in if they needed to. I was trying to emphasize to Dominic that we'd be right there and he brushed me off with a "Yeah. Ok. Bye."

Little kids slowly trickled in as they got bored or started worrying where their mommies were. Right at the end I heard a familiar voice shout into the room, "Mommy?!" I turned and made eye contact with him. He grinned and ran to me shouting, "I love you!" Then he hugged me and ran back into the playroom.

Nobody else's kid did that. Is it wrong that I feel smug about it?
