Second Day of Back to School

Today when dropping William off at school, I had a chance to talk to Ms. Dora, 1 of his teachers.  She said he’s doing fine, and that he’s so fast at playing Tag.  I said, “Thank you for being so patience especially with kids with special needs!”

– I love kids! – She said.   Then she asked if William wanted to go with her to pickup his classmates at the bus.  Before they left, William said, “Mom, stay right there!”.   He still wanted me to wait for him to get into his classroom before leaving.

1:45 PM, I came to school to pick him up, it was so crowded and hard to find a parking spot so I parked on the next residential street.  I waited for about 5 minutes then I saw William’s face peeking thru the metal gate looking for me.  His teacher Mr. C saw me and pointed so that William could see me.   He ran out of the gate toward me; he did not look happy.  On the way to the car, he said “I will not go to school anymore!”.  I asked him why but he did not say anything.  I could tell that he was not calm.  What worries me is that he cannot explain or willing to share what bothers him.

Mr. C said that he did not eat anything at all; it’s very nice of him that he’s worried William will be hungry because it’s long hours at school (8:00 AM – 2:00 PM).  He said he gave William snacks but that is not lunch.  So I told him I’d pack William lunch.  Not sure what I should pack though because William only wants to eat pizza and mac & cheese.    Today I put 3 Melano cookies in his backpack and it’s all gone.  He must be hungry.

Once we got home, I made him 1 slice of pizza; he finished it really fast!
