No Big Deal! for Tristan at least
Today, well yesterday being that it is 2 in the morning right now, was Tristan’s first official day of school. He handled it like a champ and quite frankly I was a little disappointed. As Ilan cried for Victoria, my son did not have a problem beginning his school day. He did want little to do with his backpack and knocked on the door of his classroom wanting to go inside. It was no big deal!
In all the chaos of getting out the door with Roger’s help mind you, i got caught up in the idea of dropping him off on time and not forgetting anything. Well we managed to get him there on time with his backpack, lunchbox, napmat, box of diapers and wipes, a change of clothes, some supplies, a family album, cameras, and oh yes his baby sister. Before you knew it he was in the classroom playing and I was driving to practice. It all happened so quickly!
I wanted this day to be perfect, and it was for him. I would have appreciated a little more “don’t go mommy,” but instead I got a report sheet that said “had a great day…. didn’t cry at all.” I guess I should be happy, God gives you what you can handle. I don’t know if I could have walked away had he been crying.
We will see how the rest of the week goes. I am grateful Tristan is experiencing this with Ilan, and myslelf with Victoria.
