m's first day of transitional kindergarten care - it's a long and boring title

can you say out loud with me - TOTAL DISASTER?! yes, he threw sand at kids, licked their faces (WTF?), put everything in his mouth, flicked ears and had a fit during circle time. i am taking all of this personally - i have failed as a mother to bring up a well adjusted boy. i busted out my copy of "how to talk to children so they talk to you" - or something like that and "how to free your child from anxiety". both books i purchased during a time of crisis and both i read a bit of and then put down b/c things got better after while. as you can see that all of this is on my priority list as i took a nap and am writing on these blogs.

the cutest little girl in the class took to him immediately and was hovering around his perimeter for the hour i was there this morning. when i was leaving i asked her to look out for him and there she was was - right at his side when i got there to pick him up. i am proud he did not cry when i left - he did not even cling. he made friends and he played with them. just the other stuff is such a bummer. such a long list. i think i need to read those damn books.

tomorrow is a big day - they walk to the Beach at Crissy field. he likes to bolt and run ahead. he needs to control that for the group. and there is the sand element too. 3 hours at the beach. so heavenly if you ask me! i love this school already just b/c of what is at their fingertips at the presidio. i think the chunk is going to go there.
