First Day of KINDERGARTEN!

Last Wednesday was Matthew's first day of Kindergarten. I think I was more nervous than he was. He was perfectly fine until he went to play on the playground and looked back and didn't see me (a man stepped in front of me so I was blocked from his view). He came running over crying hysterically because he thought I had left him.

I felt so bad. After that everything was an issue. He didn't want to get in line. He wanted me to hold him like a baby. He never wants me to do that. So I held him until the line started to move and then I made him walk to the class. He cried the whole way in, HUGE crocodile tears.
Broke my heart.

I got back in the car and burst into tears. I felt so bad leaving him there. I know this is part of life and it was going to happen no matter what. I just felt it came so fast and neither one of us were prepared.
When I picked him up he had a huge smile on his face. He had a lot of fun.
He likes his teacher and he likes his friends.
Thank goodness because I didn't think I could take another day with him acting like that.
So day 2 was better except he refused to go play because he was afraid I was going to leave him. He got in line and walked with the other kids but I could see tears in his eyes. Poor kid.
Change is so hard for him.

Here we are 5 school days later and he's a pro. He doesn't even hug me goodbye unless I make him.
His teacher does a Green Light System for behavior,
Green- Good behavior
Yellow- Warning
Red- missed 5 min of recess
Double Red- Missed all of recess

Well yesterday Matthew came home with a yellow stamp. Apparently he wouldn't stop talking and was disturbing others.
We had a serious conversation when we got home because he knows he needs to listen. He promised he would get Green Lights from now on.
He brought a green stamp home today so let's hope it lasts.

I'm not going to lie, having Matthew in school is doing wonders for my anxiety. I get some time away from him and by the time he gets home he's tired so he's very relaxed. Has no energy to annoy Kourtney or me and I am way okay with that.

The house is so quiet during the day. I almost don't know what to do with myself. haha

I finished number two in my disney cross stitch collection.

Beauty and the Beast

I am now working on The Little Mermaid.
I'm determined to have the whole collection!
Well that's all for now.
