First Day

Well, it started out okay. We got to school and he was checking out his classroom and meeting his classmates. But I think Wolf and I made a few mistakes. One, we both went to drop him off. This was something I wanted us both to do but was probably not a wise choice. Two, we stayed longer than we should have. But I wanted to meet his teacher, see his classroom, meet other kids and parents. But when it was time for us to leave, Mason was having none of it. He kept trying to run away. Wolf even sat with him for awhile and stayed during part of circle time. But he tried to leave, it didn't go over so well. We left with the teacher's assistant have to hold him back from chasing us, and him screaming "mommy, I just want a hug." Broke my heart.

When I got to work I called the office to see if I could check on him and the secretary said that if kids do not calm down and are too upset to stay in the classroom, they are brought to the office. And he wasn't there. So I guess that's something, eh? It is now 1:00 and in 15 minutes class ends and he heads off to aftercare. Another transition. But I think that there are quite a few kids from his class in there with him so it should all be good.

On a side note, he did end up getting in to the bilingual program. The principal left us a message last night saying that one of the kids in the program was moving and there was an opening for Mason. Yeah, persistency pays off! I am just so glad that we were able to settle all of this before he actually started school. And I have heard nothing but great things about his teacher. Sigh..is it 5:00 yet? I miss my baby. Wait, I was corrected last night, he is no longer my baby. I miss my little man.
