First Week of Day School

Corban's first Day School adventure went really well. He woke up excited to go. I, however, woke up to my list of things to get done. I packed his bags the night before and some of his lunch. I even wrote out my day up til the time I needed to pick him up so that I would stay busy and not miss him so much. I know that this is going to be a good thing for him and he is apparently really ready because when we arrived there I didn't even get in the door with Landice before he was down to his classroom with his Gigi. What a day! So, the snack dilemma. I decided to take the less confrontational approach and just packed his snacks and asked his teacher if she would give those to him. I didn't make a big deal out of it and I felt good about it. I came to pick him up and they said that he had a great first day. His teacher Miss Beth wrote on his paper that he seemed as if he had been coming for a long time. He didn't take a nap, which was not fun for us the rest of the day. Very miserable. Hopefully, the nap thing will work itself out because he is such a great napper. I think he is just too excited and afraid he will miss out on something. Sounds like someone else I know! Miss Beth did inform me that she did not give him the snacks I provided and she gave him Whole Wheat crackers and 100% juice. I didn't make a big fuss, but did explain that didn't want him to have juice and a lot of sweets. I was kind of floored that she would go against something I had asked, but I wasn't too specific so I let it go. Well, later Gigi called to brag about how well Corban did. I told her that I thought this would workout and the only thing I was concerned about was the snack issue. She then informed me that she told Miss Beth that it was okay to give him juice even after I had a talk with Tito about my issues. I guess that was not communicated between them...as if they don't know I don't want him having that. I know you all are thinking...not a big deal...and I have been told that! But it is a matter of respecting the parents wishes on one measly issue. I know I have a hard time letting go of my baby and maybe this is what the big deal is all about. Who knows. Tara and I had lunch together to help my day go by. The day overall was a big success. My baby is not a baby anymore.
