So today was the day! It started off great. Here are some pictures of my little man with his backpack.
When we got to his the classroom, Ben took his teacher’s hand and went right over to the carpet for story time. He didn’t even look back! Kris and I didn’t know what to do! We just stood there. Finally, I went over to him, rubbed his head and told him we’d be back after lunch. He gave me the “two thumbs up” and off we went.
Now of course, I’m not handling this too well. Didn’t matter that he did great, I still cried.
Anyway, fast forward to after lunch. We had the WORST thunder storm I’ve ever seen! It was raining and HAILING so hard that my wipers couldn’t keep up. People were pulling off the road left and right. It was frightening but I was on a mission to get my boy! I enter the school and hear someone crying. This cry is very familiar to me so I pick up the pace. Just as I am about the enter the room, I hear the teacher say “Ben, why are you crying?” That is followed by his reply… “I-WANT-TO-GO-HOME!” I guess I came just in time. My poor guy. He wasn’t happy. Miss Kim reassured me that he did great up until the storm. Still, it was hard to see my little man so upset. Of course, he calmed down pretty quickly and he’s fine. I asked him if he wanted to go back on Wednesday and I got a weak “yes.” I guess that’s a good sign.
