Day 4 of kindergarten went better. Not nearly as many tears or carrying on this morning. Our co-op preschool teacher (former kindergarten teacher and dear friend!) gave me great words of encouragement and advice. She said this week would still be hard for CSR, pointing out he only went to school two days last week. Among her gems, reminding me to encourage CSR during the difficult times that "tommorrow will be better"...something we can all use and learn from. She also advised ice cream for lunch. So yesterday, as we walked home from school, when I suggested that, his face lit up--like he couldn't believe that his vegetable-pushing mom was going to let him have ice cream FOR LUNCH. It was totally worth it. It also helped that as I got the ice cream ready, he asked for a turkey and cheese sandwich.
We also discovered that the girl CSR sits next to in class lives around the corner from us, so that should be fun to have a friend in the neighborhood.
Kindergarten. It's getting better.
