"First" Day of School!

I actually don't really consider today Kaitlyn's first day of school since it was only an hour long and we just went in and I was there for about 10-15 mins of it, the kids just played with the toys and go to know the teachers and classroom. When I told K I was leaving and would be back to get her in a bit, she just turned around and looked at me as if to say, Ok see ya! I asked her for a kiss (repeatedly) and then got one before walking out. Kaitlyn, of course, found a quite corner of the room to sit on the computer by herself for about 40 mins and then they did "Carpet Time" for the last 10 mins where K promptly found a spot on the carpet but just far enough away from the other kids off to the side. They sang songs (Wheels on the Bus & stuff) and I was told by the teacher that Kaitlyn was offering up things that were on the bus an what noise they were making... just like her to want to be in control lol.

Overall she had a good day, but as I said, it was only an hour long. After getting home she spent the day in a mood teetering on tantrumish behavior. She had a hard time going up for quiet time (was kicking and screaming on the way up) and ultimately ended up waking up her brother for his nap but we got through the day!

Next week will be the true test on how this whole school thing will go. She starts regular 9-11:30am class M-F and we will see how the behavior holds up. I'm also heading over sometime next week to sign the papers to get theEvaluations going through the school. Time will tell!
