Don't be fooled by the smile on Taeg's face. He has been ecstatic to start school. All the neighborhood kids have been in school and he asks me 30 times a day if they are home yet. He was more than ready to start. We got to school around 12:25 and met the teachers. He didn't know any kids and it was new teachers. He was playing with dinosaurs and I asked if he wanted to introduce Kyler to his teachers. He said no. I said ok, we'll go home. He gave me a kiss and said bye. As we're walking out. He runs over and says he wants to show Kyler to his teachers. So we did. Then it all went down hill. He had a death grip on my arm with both of his hands. Tears were flowing...I mean, flowing down his face. Around 12:40 all the other parents had left and they were getting ready to start. We went to the carpet and sat next to Taegen. If I moved an inch away from him he would gasp and pull me back. Finally around 12:50, I really HAD to go because Kyler's bus was coming soon. The aide helped me pry his arms off of me and he was SCREAMING and KICKING. Literally, SCREAMING AND KICKING as I left with the teacher holding him on her lap so he couldn't chase me down. Poor kid. When I went to pick him up they told me he cried for a few minutes and then was fine. Taegen is extremely quiet around people he doesn't know. I am hoping he will make a few friends in his class. There are only a few boys but lots of girls. He told me that he wanted to go to school today...so keep your fingers crossed that it's a tear free, kick free, scream free drop-off.
I am such a mean mom for leaving my baby so upset but...come on kid, I have another one to get on the bus. :) :) Love you Taegs.
