Seth has officially started school (well preschool) but he LOVES it. The first day, he had a mini melt down when I left, but apparently he just lied down on the couch they have for reading and eventually calmed down enough when they got out some snacks. He told me he fell asleep on the couch and when he woke up, he was happy and not crying anymore. I never did ask his teacher if he really did fall asleep. But if he did that would explain the reason for him being so irrationally sad when I dropped him off the first day. And I totally feel responsible for this one because we kept him up too late the night before at Cordelle's work party. Bad mother moment. So we went to bed early that night and the next day he was pumped and ready to go back so no harm done.
The only other preschool mishap we had was this last week. Apparently he really had to go to the bathroom and being the shy, non-confrontational kid that he is, just kept on going to his stations and outside for free-time before he had a little accident and then was hysterical about it (because that is the way he reacts if even the tiniest bit of anything gets on his underware) and probably because he's never done that before. Seriously, when his teacher called me cause he wanted to go home and change, I almost didnt believe her cause Seth almost never had any accidents the whole time he was potty training or since. But of course here at preschool he would. I felt so bad for him, cause I think he truly was just embarrassed about it. But his darling teacher Mrs. Douglas was great with him and reminded him that he could always tell her if he needed to go and showed him again and again where the bathrooms were. Come to find out, Cordelle did the same thing in Kindergarten, so maybe this is somehow genetically his fault. :) Needless to say I MAKE him go twice before leaving in the morning now. I'm glad he's too young to be afraid of what the other kids might think of him. That part of real school does not excite me. But he was ready and determined the next day to tell Mrs. Douglas if he needed to go to the bathroom. So lesson learned. Anyways I LOVE having some one on one time with Jaq and I think he really does love school. So I'm glad I decided to put him in even if he will do 2 years of preschool.
