Thursday Morning. As usual I woke William up around 7:30 AM, he rolled around on the bed and refused to get up. When he finally did, he cried. I asked why but he did not answer. He cried when he peed, when I brushed teeth for him and stopped crying only when he got back to the bed. I had a hard time to give him eye drops for his dry itchy eyes. But we managed to be at school on time.
William was born in Nov so he’s not ready to go to Kindergarten yet; they send him to TK instead; and today was his first day at the Lincoln Elementary School. He started to cry when I pushed the stroller pass my car. He pointed his hand toward the car signaling that he wanted to take the car. I told him “The new school is near so we can just walk”. He cried all the way from home to the class room. It was so crowded with students. We stopped by the office first to find out his room number: 54 with Ms. Newman Heather.
It was a surprised to see Ms. Birdie in the classroom too. William stopped crying once we got inside the room but refused to get off his stroller. After a while, he came sit next to me at the breakfast table. Ms. Newman brought in breakfast: juice and mini-donuts and asked if he wanted donuts; he kept saying No but I took one chocolate donut anyway because i know he loves it. After a few times saying No, he reached to the donut and had 1 bite. Then eventually he finished it! I encouraged him to go play, and he ran over to the Legos.
His class is from 8:00 AM – 1:00 PM. Breakfast is served around 8:00 AM in the classroom (he doesn’t need to go get it like at the Martin school); and lunch is served around 11:30 AM.
He was sent home with homework on the first day of school! (it’s 4 pages of learning about letter A).
