I know I've posted a lot about the kids, especially the girls, going to school, but that's what's on my mind lately. It hasn't been going smoothly and it's starting to beat me down. So, since I can't think of anything else creative and funny to entertain you with, this is what you get.
This morning I actually got a sign that Amanda was starting to do better at school. For one thing, the boy who is always crying and standing at the door wasn't crying today. Serious improvement. He was still at the door, but wasn't crying. He looked like he may have cried at one point, but he wasn't crying when I dropped her off.
Second, although Amanda did cry when I dropped her off, instead of clinging to me with a vice grip, she walked over to her teacher with arms outstretched, wanting to sit on her lap and be comforted. This may not seem like a big deal, especially since she was still crying, but to me it means that a)she's not trying to leave, and b)she finds comfort in her teachers. That's a big deal.
It will get better, she will start to enjoy herself, and I will finally get confirmation that this is a good thing for her. We're not there yet, but it's a start.
