Lorelai's 1st Day of School
Lorelai started school on Wednesday of this week. While pretty excited at the idea originally, she wasn't having any of it that morning. Playing on the nap mat I had finished the night before was a brief bit of enjoyment that morning.
But, once it was time to pack up to go she wasn't as happy.
That was the best picture I could get of her. She then came to sit in my lap. Gabriel was trying really hard to tell her how fun school was.
But, there was no convincing her. So, we moved on to the car. None of the kids were interested in chatting. So it was a solemn drive to school. We got there, and Gabriel said, "Lorelai, you go to school today." Of course she responded, "No!" Gabriel then proceeded to tell me she said no. He told her again that she was going to school. She replied "Mmm. Mm." This upset him further. I said it was probably best just not to talk about it.
So we got inside. Dropped of Gabriel first. He did so well, trying to show Lorelai school wasn't scary. Very proud of my big boy!!! I dropped Lorelai off next. She was a basket of tears the lasted for about 20 min.
The next day she still cried but did even better. Here is what I have learned about Lorelai at school...she listens well. She does NOT nap, but will lay on her nap mat resting quietly. She eats every piece of food I pack for her. And he does not like the other kids to touch her doll. No hitting, but she will not hesitate to loudly yell, "My doll!" at them. Well, at least she's not hitting. Not that she's a hitter, but you know. You don't want to have "that kid" in the class.
Mommy has been busy busy busy on her first two days off. But, I did manage to meet Brian for lunch on Wednesday. Tonight is the OKCMQG quilt show and as a show coordinator I have had a lot to do the last couple of days.
What a great and busy week we're having!
