I'm so glad the first day is over with! On the way to school Zach was a little anxious about the drop off (well, we both were) and asked a lot of questions about why I wasn't staying. Once I got him out and starting saying goodbye his eyes welled up with tears as he looked at me with his big brown eyes, his bottom lip went down, and quietly whispered "bye, Mom." I quickly got in the car and didn't look back as my eyes too were filled with tears.
I couldn't wait to pick him at 3pm and hear all about it. Well, as my friend Beth predicted, he pretty much had nothing to say. The only thing he did share was that he had goldfish as his snack... very exciting! The whole way home I kept prompting him with specific questions and after about 5 of them, he finally said, "I just don't want to talk about it, Mom."
Well, that's that then. His teacher briefly told me he did well but did have a "few moments," not completely sure what that meant and didn't think to ask her in that moment. Anyway, he goes again next Monday and maybe he will have more to share. But I don't think I should plan on getting my hopes. Oh, to be a fly in the wall in his classroom....

You did it! It had to be hard, but like you said- now you can enjoy some free time. Maybe you can get Cameron napping at that time. Hey!
Jake is in school all day long and he NEVER wants to tell me about his day. Luckily his teacher sends a note home telling us what they are going to do for the week or I would have no clue. Sophia on the other hand tells me the moment she gets off the bus...maybe it's a boy thing.
That is funny...welcome to a life time of "not wanting to talk about it mom" moments....
So glad you both made it through!
Hang in there Wool. Love Zachary's little comment though...starting to want his own business apparently!
Oh my gosh, I'm crying picturing his big huge brown eyes and hearing him whisper bye mom...total tears over here.
