So it was the first day of school and the kids were all smiles this morning. Max couldn't get out of the door fast enough. Maddie just tagged along really. They were both really excited about their new backpacks. My sweet friend Andrea monogrammed them for the kids so that was extra special. I was a bundle of nerves because I had a feeling Maddie would have a hard time today. We loaded up in the Expedition and drove to school and kids watched Little Einsteins on the way. Once they got unloaded Max said bye, Maddie had no idea what was happening but she went along with it and didn't even look back. All is well....?? I thought so.
Right before pick up Maddie's teacher called to let me know she had had a rough day, crying off and on throughout the day. It started when she wanted to sit by Max in his class line in the morning. She doesn't like to hear the word no, so I assume that set her off. Ms. Letty said sometimes she did not and throwing tantrums. She was so tired during lunch she almost fell asleep at the table. She was not happy when they changed her diaper either. They finally found her pacifier after she cried during nap time. My heart sunk when I got off the phone, I may have even cried. I felt terrible. Needless to say I was ready to pick her up. When I saw her, she looked okay, pacifier in her mouth.
After we headed to Menchie's for a frozen yogurt treat. I know it will get better, but I am not looking forward to the in between phase. I know she is in good hands because they were Max's teachers. :( Lord give me strength. By the way, "Max had a great day, he was happy all day" - teacher note :) 1/2 isn't that bad I guess.
