Kindergarten

August 17 - 1st half day of Kindergarten - He walked in with a smile. I was smiling.
August 18 - 2nd half day of Kindergarten - He cried. I cried. It was a rough time for both of us.
August 19 - 1st full day of Kindergarten - He cried before leaving the house. He was upset because he was told he couldn't have his DS with him at school nor on the bus. I have to admit, I am the one who put the DS in his bag. Opps... I had no idea they weren't allowed on the bus, because I did explain he couldn't have his DS at school but could use it once he got to his daycare. Totally my fault here. I took some time to explain to him that no child will have their DS so he won't be left out. He felt a little better and only had tears when I dropped him off.
August 20 - 2nd full day of Kindergarten - only teary eyes today.
August 23 - 3rd full day of Kindergarten - Crying before leaving. He doesn't like it because it is boring. He just wants to learn nothing and know everything so that he doesn't have to go to school. (These were his words exactly). It is so boring, all I do is go to recess, eat lunch and take a nap. I tried explaining that he can know so much by going to school and if he goes to 1st grade next year he doesn't have a rest time. He wasn't listening. He wanted me to walk him in today, I really was trying to avoid this so that he can start to be more independant but I think I will have to give him more time. I walked him in and he started crying before even getting inside the doors. His teacher had to lead him into the classroom crying. I walked back to the car teary eyed. This might be one of the hardest times I have dealt with yet. ... We can get into that talk sometime later.
