Several folks have asked me how Robby, and primarily, Caleb, have done at school so far.
Well, we're three days into it now and Robby is doing fine. He pretty much seemed to pick right back up where he left off, which was on good n' happy notes, so that's fantastic. His teacher is not who he thought it was, but he "likes her anyway". Again, fantastic.
Caleb... So the first day of school was simply the orientation that included mom & dad in the room for rules n' paperwork and to give the new kindergartner a brief meeting with his/her teacher. An "ice breaker" meeting, if you will. As I said, he wavered from a whimper to a smile several times during that first day.
Day #2? Well, he cried when momma dropped him off. Daddy was at work for a few hours by that point, not that I'm saying my presence would have made any difference. It wouldn't have.
Well, there was some "homework" for Mom & Dad as well as Caleb that needed to be returned on day #2. Momma forgot it and therefore had to go back to school. She spoke with Calebber's teacher and she said that he stopped crying within about 30 seconds of momma leaving and did good the rest of the day. In fact, she said that he was a great helper as in helping other kids clean up. Pretty much similar to what we heard from his preschool and jump-start teachers as well.
Caleb told momma several times on the 1/16th of a mile drive home, "Momma, no more. No more, momma.". Meaning no more school. It was okay, but he's done.
When I got home, I heard the same thing and told him that he could indeed quit but only after completing the next 13 years. He agreed with his daddy so I think we're good... :-)
Good enough for the first full-length day, I say.
Day #3 (today), momma walked Robby to his room first and dropped him off, then proceeded to Caleb's room as the boy grew a little bit more anxious with each step.
His teacher came out to greet him and took him by the hand and led him in the room. Done deal.
Today was early out day, so that likely helped a little too, but both boys are tired and CRANKY!!
We'll likely go for a family walk/little boy bike ride tonight again but it's early to bed or my name ain't Boogie!!
