today was the kids first day at their new school. i was very nervous. john was very excited. before we left the house, he said to me "mommy can you hold my hand when we walk in?" we got to school and john showed me where his cubby was and he found gillian's cubby too. i walked him to his class and he found some sharks and fish to play with and he sat down. i took gillian to her class. she was a little clingy and did not stray from my side. i left her for a moment so that i could get the rest of the stuff out of the car. and she was crying. i checked on john and he was coloring a picture. he gave me a kiss and basically threw me out the door. as i walked past gillian's class she was still crying. it just breaks your heart. i was so proud of john and worried for gillian at the same time.
i called to check on them later in day and the director said they were doing great and that they were such happy kids. i mentioned that gillian was crying when i left. she said by the time she got in gillian was happy and playing with a babydoll when she got there.
i picked them up tonight. john was happily playing with a couple of boys. his teacher said that he did really well and had a great day. i found gillian in another room sitting at a big table covered in paper. she was coloring and didn't even notice me when i walked in. i again talked to gillian's teacher who said gillian was awesome today. as we were leaving gillian was waving and blowing kisses. yay for a great first day!
