G started kindergarten last Monday. I can’t believe he’s growing up so damn fast! Of course, Brian had a harder time than me. We had to leave so that the other parents wouldn’t see his tears! 😀 Too funny! Ok, my turn came on Wednesday, when G was just so sad, because he said that he wasn’t playing with anyone or talking to anyone at lunch. I was almost ready to pull him until next year. He’s still so young (much younger than a lot of his classmates), so I thought that maybe he just wasn’t ready, socially. Turns out that a lot of the other kids in his class were having the same problems. Brian dropped him off at school on Thursday and talked with a couple of the other parents. They all had the exact same concerns as we do. They can’t get their kids to talk about school and their kids are also saying they aren’t making friends or talking to anyone at lunch. (I found out that they are not allowed to talk during lunch for the first few minutes, in order to encourage eating). So, this first week was hard, but we got through it. G came home from school on Friday and he was in a much better mood. They had show-n-tell, and I think that may have allowed the kids to get to know each other a little more.

5 down, only 195 more school days to go this year…
