Brian's first day at school

Brian's teachers report of the morning:

~ One time out given (on his first day!!!! I about fell over!) for screaming. He does this high-pitched squeal thing that is totally obnoxious that we have been forever trying to break him of, and he did it today at the end of the morning. They gave him one warning and then he went into time-out. I am completely fine with this, as I think it's important for him to understand right away the expectations they have of him and the boundaries that have been set.

~ He did very well but did become distracted during some activities during the morning and wanted to do something else. Expected and part of the adjustment process.

~ No accidents, woo hoo!!! (and really all day...he has been going BY HIMSELF since he's been home. So wonderful!!!)

I think this is pretty good for day one!!!

Brian's report of the day:

~ "I screamed and I had to go in time-out. Teachers said NO screaming. That's naughty." He also recounted this with several friends while Mommy was cooking, via his kitchen's cordless (toy) phone

~ "I told teacher when I had to go." (in response to the question: did you go potty at school?)

~ "I didn't sing the God song Mommy. I cried." "Why didn't you sing the God song Brian? That's OK since you didn't know the words. How does the God song go?" "I can't cry during the God song, it's happy! God is happy!" (in response to: did you have fun playing in the Big Room? Yeah I am not sure either....)

So I would label this day....a SUCCESS! He is still talking positively about school, he is excited to go back tomorrow and is happy that he gets to stay and eat lunch tomorrow too! Ah what a relief for this Momma!
