Ds6 went to the Montessori school (where he's to attend full-time beginning Jan. 5). He's always liked it before, but today was his first full day there (just a mini-visit). He was happy to see me when I got there to pick him up this afternoon and on the verge of tears. Evidently he'd been asking for me and was teary-eyed all afternoon. He's been for a couple of visits before, but he was always happy. In fact, last time he didn't want to leave. Today, he complained that the day dragged on and on. Please God let this not be a mistake. I know it was just one day, but we need something that's going to work. The teacher had no complaints at all, but ds said he didn't like it anymore. Now that we've laid down thousands of dollars, he's going to have to suck it up and give it a shot. I want him to tell me how he feels, but I also don't want him to get the impression that if he's not completely enthralled every minute of every day, that he can just give up. Just venting...it sort of took the wind out of my sails because it has seemed so good. Oh well, hopefully it's just a fluke and next time will be better. Maybe this rainy weather just affected his mood. He said he was sleepy all day, but he used to say that when he was bored at his old school!
