Julian's 1st day day of school   Julian's 1st day day of school

 

So Julian is back to school. New class, new teacher and definitely new activities.

I took him to school Wednesday last week, and he was holding on to my thigh and his little hands a bit shaky.  I can only imagine what was going through his head. He was in a totally new classroom.

His teacher took his hand and led him to the school gym where all the other kids were dropped off.

I think i was more nervous than he was. I thought about him most of the day at work how he would do, was he going to get himself in trouble, was he going to get along with his new classmates etc.

Then of course i get a call from his dad later he had picked him up right on time at 3:30PM, and i could just hear Julian on the background, laughing and screaming. His dad hands him the phone to speak to me…

“Hi mama, how are you doing? Oh mama i had so much fun in Mrs Evans class. “  Needless to say, a chip was lifted right off my shoulder and my day officially begun right that moment.

You know, kids adjust much better to changes than adults do! I mean, we want to protect our children, keep them under our wings, hang on to them as much as possible, the truth is we just need to have a little faith, and just let them fly. They will be just fine.

I picked him up from school on Friday and talked his teacher and she had nothing but praise for him. All the reading, teaching at home , did really pay off. He brought home his first homework. Learning to write, tracing letters and numbers. He did that as soon as we got home and we put it away so we don’t forget to come to back to it over the weekend.

It is Monday again, and he is back to a new week. I hope he will have a good day at school and a great week.

So for all the parents that are getting ready for the back to school mode, here’s to you!

May you all find a little balance, and some peace of mind. Your little ones will do just great.

Have a great week!
