Max’s first day of class wasn’t the best.The hubby and I stayed for the first 20 minutes to make sure he was going to be ok. While he was playing with some toys, another classmate, who was a little older than him, pushed him around rather aggressively. Max just looked stunned. I don’t think he’s been around other kids like that before. We felt so bad for him. It just broke my heart. I know this is something that’s bound to happen, so we shouldn’t try to avoid it, but I can’t help feel like I want to protect my child always. Yes, he’s three now, but he’s still my little baby.
So we left him, with a little bit of hesitation. Later, when it was time to pick him up, we peeked into his classroom, and he seemed to be fine. Just playing with some toys and chillin’. Once class was over, and he saw us waiting for him in the hall, his face crumpled. He ran over to me, and just bawled his eyes out. He held on to me so tightly and buried his face against my chest. It just broke my heart because he was crying so sadly. His teacher swears he didn’t cry at all earlier. The whole walk home, he wouldn’t let go of my hand. Today was a little better. No tears, but still a little resistance. Poor kid. I really want him to be happy and like his new school.
Today was the last day of class for me. Technically, last class is next week, but we don’t have any finals. Just have to pick up our final grade and papers. So glad to be done with this class. While it wasn’t terribly difficult, it was just a pain to write papers since I hate it so much. But I have a feeling I’ll be getting an A in this class.
Btw, question for those who want to answer: would you rather buy furniture or jewelry?
“He ran over to me, and just bawled his eyes out” Omg, Minna - I don’t think I could go through that with my little ones… :-{
Jewelry!
FURNITURE! I’m not much a jewelry person but making the house feel warm and cozy… that’s definitely a priority for me. (Since the last time you visited, my home is much more cozy now, lol b/c of the new furniture).
I couldn’t help but think of Cameron when you were telling your story about Max @ School. =( Hopefully the teacher says something to that kid who was pushing him around. I’m sure it will get better. Does he play by himself or does he play with the other kids too?
awww. don’t worry, it’ll usually take them a few days/weeks to adjust to school. i prefer furniture over jewlery.
OOoh a new look!!! I like it. And you are so pretty in your profile picture. =)
To answer your question…I haven’t bought furniture ever or much jewelry either…so I’d say “MAKEUP” LOL Sorry, that didn’t help you at all.
i miss max! hope to see him soon,
i have to agree with sara so yeah, furnitures. how about you?
and the part about max, awwh.. i got all teary reading it. i don’t know if i can deal with it too. must be so hard on you. but your right, it’s part of life.
i’m seriously thinking about home tutoring for tiff but i also got mix feelings about it. plus i hear it’s pretty expensive. who knows, maybe by then there will be online schooling for little kids.
