School updates

When Brennan came home from his first full day of Kindergarten, he got off the bus and looked pale, tired and emotional. Pop picked him up and walked him home. He started crying saying he wanted to go to Pop's house. He was sick with a cold too. He didn't pee all day in school and told me the day was too long.

So he didn't want to go back. On Tuesday morning I had to drag him on the bus. He was crying and I saw another kid his age pat him on the back. Later, Brennan told me a big boy came and told him it was okay and not to be scared :)

I called the guidance counselor (as I had been emailing Mrs Cannon too) and I was crying. She said she would go check on him and call me right back. She said he was happy, laughing, and playing with the other boys. Mrs Cannon said she would email me throughout the day to give me updates. She emailed me a few times. Lunch seemed to be his hardest time - he was crying and wouldn't eat. The guidance counselor came and took him aside to talk with him and he came back to class better after that. I told Brennan I would pick him up that day as he had expressed it took too long for the bus to come pick him up. I also told him that if he went on the potty we would take him to get a special toy.

So.....when I picked him up on Tuesday he was all smiles. He picked out a special Lego toy and went to the bathroom yesterday and only had 'one small sad tear' per Mrs Cannon yesterday. He sat with Jack M at lunch and that helped him fell better. Again, when I picked him up, he was very happy. He takes the bus to school and gets picked up.

For Shane - he went right into school yesterday and never looked back!!! I was told he was good.....
