Walking Backwards

Thrilling experiences from a rather uneventful life.

Wednesday, September 22, 2004

Yes, well, school wasn't quite as I expected it. Nicholas' teacher asked me to stay after I had gone to the car for about five minutes and she was unable to comfort him. She said that it seemed that there would be nothing she could do if he were really left alone. We talked about it after class and decided that I should just gradually try to leave. On Thursday, I am going to leave just before snacktime so that Nicholas only has to be there for an hour by himself. Staying in his class was interesting. For some reason, every child in the middle of an "I want mommy" meltdown decided that I was the one they wanted comfort from. I had to hold and soothe one little girl for about half and hour until she was okay. Then after that was done I was leaned on by another sobbing little girl while I was sitting for story time. Shortly after, I was babbled at by a crying little boy who wanted to hold hands. By the time I took Nicholas home, I had quite the headache. I was glad to be of help, but couldn't I have been the one they wanted to play in the sandbox with? I can't wait until Thursday :).
