We had a rough start today. Gray didn't want to go to preschool for the second day in a row and generally he goes easily when reminded that he'll be playing on the playground. We were worried that something upsetting happened Wednesday but since he is either unable or unwilling to answer open-ended questions, we had no luck. He's quiet at school, a completely different child. His teacher addresses him and I can see him listening, but he's so very reluctant to meet her gaze. He's also very docile to the point of submissive; he lets other kids yank toys out of his hands and splash him with water and he shows no reaction whatsoever. I wonder sometimes if preschool is really necessary, but he always seems to be in a good mood when we pick him up.
