Back 2 school 2010

 
My boys were all ready to go this morning, we had planned so well. I even put them on a schedule and they stuck to it!
We got to school and looked up their new classrooms then it happened! A mild meltdown by my new little First grader. He realized that he wasn't going to have the same class with the same kids from Kindergarten and that was it. His eyes started welling up and the tears came. His teacher was very nice and reassuring and even cracked a few jokes then, he saw someone he knew but, was still unsure so we walked inside the room together. The kids got to look around and find their name at their new desk and then she said " you can look at the fish and the frog over there by the door" and that was it my little terrified first grader was happy too see me go. His found chair next to his a familiar face from Kindergarten and it was all good. It was more like "o.k. Mom now you can go".

 I picked them up from school and they were so excited to tell me about their day even my oldest who told me he had a stomach ache and couldn't go to school the night before was happy to find out that one of his best buddies was in his class and all too excited to let me know that he needs a flash drive for his computer class. Anything that has to do with technology is all good in his book.

 And my terrified First grader wasn't so terrified after realizing that he got to have TWO recesses! Oh it's the little things.
