DS is in PreK in the afternoon classes 5 days a week. I noticed some moms I'm friendly with do activities with their LO before school since it doesn't start till 1PM (he gets picked up from the bus at 12:45).

DS is not good with too much activities before school. He's ok after, but by then it's already almost 4 so I sign him up for stuff on the weekends. I think it's great one mom I'm friendly with has her daughter in cooking class, swim lessons and gymnastics. I just have tried some things with DS and those days he has something before school he hates getting on the school bus, will cry and is off that day. Not every time, but most. Twice a week his 2 yr old brother goes to school so after we drop him off we'll go to library to pick out books or shopping or other errands.
With the weather getting nicer I plan on going to the park, but again I will do it after.

Anyone have a similar situation? My friend who has her daughter in everything asks what we do then, but since I work from home we play games, basement, go outside when it's nice and that's about it besides errands when his brother is in school.
We also do play dates once a week, but with kids from the bus so they can go on together. If he has a playdate with someone who isn't on his bus, but in his class he still gets upset leaving them no matter how much I explain to him he'll see them soon. Ugh! H
