Who knew that the second, third, fourth… days of kindergarten would be the hardest?! Ammon was so excited for school to start all summer. First day of school was great! He loved his teacher, made lots of new friends, and was excited to go back.
Then came the trip to CA. Tuesday he had to go to school and he was NOT happy. He cried and pouted and did not want to go. I scolded and begged and bribed, but it didn’t work. I finally tricked him into going to the school to tell his teacher he was dropping out! Being the wonderful person that she is, she talked him into staying, but not without loads of tears. Of course after school he was ready for another day!
Wednesday morning came and so did the tears and the stories: kids at school laughed at him, the teacher was mean, anything to get out of going. But he went and had a fun day.
Thursday started better, no begging to stay home. We got all the way to the classroom before he decided he didn’t want to stay. Big crocodile tears coming from those big brown eyes are more than I can take. Thank Goodness for awesome teachers!!! He stayed after a promise to pick him up "as soon as school is over!" He day was of course "GREAT!" We will see what tomorrow brings!
