  • First day of preschool today
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • So, the first day went ok.  He was all excited the night before, popped out of bed in the morning & got dressed, no problems....then, we headed outside to get some pictures & he LOST HIS SH!T!  I don't know if everything just caught up with him or the reality sunk in or what, but I felt awful.  he was crying, saying he didn't want to go, he wanted to go back to his preschool, he missed his friends, etc...ugh.  I managed to hold myself together (*insert pat on back here* it was not an easy task!) Thankfully, he's pretty easily distracted and I had bought a new superman water bottle for him that he hadn't seen yet; so I busted that out & the tears dried up fast!!  He was all smiles & walked right onto the bus!!

    He did tell me that he cried at school in the middle of the day because he missed me, but the teacher made him feel better.  He was also upset because some other kid tried to steal his ninja turtle folder, but he got it back and we wrote his name inside of all of his stuff last night, so that made him feel better.

  • Oh, and I will say that I think Liam had the hardest time out of all of us yesterday!  As Jake was getting on the bus, Liam was yelling "NO Jakey!  Don't leave me!  I get on the bus!  I in kindergarten too!"  Heartbreaking!!!

    I can't access my web photos from my office, so I've attached it :)

    Hopefully it worked

    ETA, it failed. What a shock the Nest's changes don't work correctly.

    Oh my gosh that is heartbreaking!  It's hard being the little brother or sister.  And who tries to steal a folder!?!?  I'm glad he got it back.

  • She did it!!!! Thank you for listening to me worry and advice last week!! I worked really hard on finding some things to encourage dd. the Chapstick idea went over really well (but damn if I couldn't find grape lipsmackers!!)

    This morning I gave her the necklace with locket and our pics in and she LOVED it. I think that really helped!

    Anyways it was a success. She got on the bus with no tears. And I only cried after she was on the bus. Goodness leaving her go on by herself was terrifying!!

    I hope she has a good day!!

    Wow Amanda she looks so grown up!!

    So I asked dd how it was and she said it was awesome!!! I'm ready to cry tears of joy! I'm mentally exhausted from all the prepping and coming up with things to make it better for her. In so glad it was successful. Hopefully it continues
    beyond today!

    The only issue was that they do a morning snack at K. It's only half day and then she has lunch at after school. Well she ate her lunch for morning snack instead of her cereal bar...and then she didn't have lunch at lunch time! I tried to explain to her but she is confused! Hoping it doesn't happen again!

    Oh she had a great day in class!  She likes her teacher and made two friends.  She didn't like the bus ride though. The driver pulled away before she had sat down. so that freaked her out.  Hoping today will be easier on her and that fear will relax with more exposure. Like always it took some questioning to get actual stories about her day out of her and not just the "i am never riding that bus again. daddy can drive me" whine.  so here I sit at work, watching the clock hoping that she doesn't give K too much trouble this morning!
    Update- She got onto the bus again, with some hesitation but she did it. I think this is a non-issue!
  • Yay for good first days of Kindergarten! :-)
