It was a VERY emotional first day of KG. Rob left for work and I turned the tv on for E2 and then sat down and cried.<br/><br/>Two hours later she bopped out of school with and ear-to-ear grin.<br/><br/>And it never hurts to suck up to the teacher!

Two hours later she bopped out of school with and ear-to-ear grin.

And it never hurts to suck up to the teacher!

Ugh.<br/><br/>First, you are SO normal. I'm sure I'm going to do the same thing when L starts MDO in the spring.<br/><br/>Second, your neighbors are concerning. Next time it happens, I'd call the police. I know it's an awful thing to do, but someone (child services?) needs to know that his parents can't keep track of him. Maybe they will be able to get them some help. Something is up with Blogger and it won’t let me comment on some of your posts. Ugh.

We made it through those hurdles, but now we are entering uncharted territory again--6th grade! New school, changing classes, lockers, massive amount of kids...<br/><br/>This will be a tough year all around--6th grade for Karate kid and 3rd grade for Drama Queen. Third grade just about killed us with the first born. <br/><br/>Excuse me, I feel a little faint. I think I need to go breathe in a paper bag.

I cried quite a bit, but it was all good. It wasn't TOO hard, can you believe he got OUT at 10:45 every day?!?!? This year is 1st grade and he'll go from 8-2:30. Very strange... Oh yes.

Just remember that you're entitled to a bit of a breakdown for it and in addition to the tissues, be sure to have some chocolate on hand, too.

Once I felt comfortable with her, I knew Girlie would have a good experience. Incidentally, I get nervous with the first day of each school year. Then I get right over it!

Just relax. You will deal with things a day at a time. And don't forget, the teacher will be watching out for your son also. Having taught, I understand your fears. Just relax.
