School started 3 days ago for us. I have a first grader and a little son who is turning 3 in October.

I drop my oldest off at his elementary school and then drop my youngest off at daycare before heading to work each morning.

We say goodbye to big brother in the drop off line, and then he spends the rest of the time in the car telling me that he's big and he wants to go to school with his brother. When we pull up to the daycare center he loses his mind. "NOT THIS SCHOOL! I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THIS SCHOOL". He will say the name of the daycare center and makes a little scene.

Drop off was never an issue when both boys went to the daycare center. Now that school's started, it's been really really hard.

The only thing that has changed is now we have two drop offs in the morning and we drop off big brother first. Once he's dropped off, he's fine, but he is so mad that I am leaving him there. I had problems with drop offs when my oldest son was around this age....so it could just be a phase.

Just wondering if you have any advice for me=) thanks
