So as soon as I posted about all my issues with Cole and preschool I pretty much knew what I needed to do: pull Cole out.
I don't know why I was freaking out about it all. I don't know why I thought three years olds HAD to start preschool. I don't know why I felt so confused about it all.
Probably because the whole situation was very frustrating.
Probably because I really did selfishly enjoy my "time off" from Cole.
Probably because, even though Cole is my third child, I still often feel like I have no clue when it comes to rearing Cole.
Anyway, I called the preschool and broke up with them. Well, that's what it felt like - it definitely an "It's not you, it's me" conversation. I had to assure the preschool director several times that we had no issues with the preschool and that we didn't think they were "giving up" on Cole. I think she felt a little better when I asked when they start taking applications for the next year.
So, the great preschool experiment for Cole is over. Hopefully he'll grow, mature, and calm down enough over the next year that our next attempt preschool won't be so dramatic!
A big thanks to all who sent such helpful comments and emails. It made me feel a whole bunch better about my decision!
