Day Three....

This was the face I got when I pulled into school today. Happy? I think not.

This morning was a little better. Pierce had a great morning, and as usual we played games until it was time to go to school. We left the house a little early so we could grab McDonald's and go by and see Dad before school. He questioned why we were getting dressed so early, and I explained we were going to McDonald's! (trying to divert his attention). Not Pierce, he's too smart for that. But, like a trooper, he got into the car, put his headphones on, and off we went. Life was good...he was laughing at the movie, eating his Micky D's, and then it happened...we pulled into the school. I felt so bad because it was like I deceived him. I told him that school is FUN, and the more he goes, the more friends he will make. Again, the look. When he got into the car yesterday from school, he said me and daddy had told him school was going to be fun...and it isn't!

So today, like every other day this week, I walked him into school, talking to him - pumping him up about school...but he wasn't having it. He walked in, shoulders drooping and sat on the floor in front of his class. I talked to one of the mother's of a boy that is in his class and got their phone number. I think if we can help him get acquainted with some of the kids in his class, he will be more excited about school. Then again, as Brett used to tell me about Brandon...he may be playing me. I am full aware of that :) HOPEFULLY, the minute I leave he perks up and has fun.

Here's to his first week of kindergarten. Next week is Back to school night. A night that Sierra loves! The kids make things, hang them on the wall, and the parents get to go meet the teacher, see their work, and meet new friends from their class. I told Pierce this morning we would see him at Back to school night! He looked at me so serious and said...I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL AT NIGHT?

Bless his heart.
