Meet and Greet

 

 

 

Landon starts school tomorrow (08/16) and I am not sure I am ready for this. By his strange behavior this morning I am not sure he is ready for it either. After MANY discussions with our new school district I finally was able to get Landon in the APPROPRIATE classroom setting but not at the time I would like. I guess I cannot win them all. Landon will be attending ECE 5 days a week from 10:00am-3:00pm. YIKES! That is a long day for a kiddo who still naps occasionally. I guess that will change. Our little man will have to ride the bus to school every day and I know this will be a challenge in him since he has NEVER rode the bus alone without Ben or I. Our new babysitter will put Landon on the bus for us and his Nana will pick him up from school daily; this way our buddy does not have to have a long bus ride home after a VERY long day at school.

This morning as we went over Landon's schedule with him he of course melted down when he saw that the School picture card was up there. His mood changed and all of the sudden we had a little boy crying on the floor in a curled up position acting as if he had horrid stomach pains. He was so distraught I was sure something medically was wrong. My mom decided that her and Quinn would come with Landon and I to the school just in case he got sick and needed to go home and I needed to stay for the teacher talk part.

As we approached Landon's classroom he started to cry and run away. I encouraged him to go in his new classroom, meet his teacher, and explore his surroundings. He had NO interest and would not stop asking for "Nana's Car!" After 15 minutes of this behavior I excused him and I and went outside to find Nana and Quinn. Long story short, Landon went home with Nana where he proceeded to eat 3 bowls of goldfish, fruit snacks, cookies and juice. He was playing, happy, and acting as if nothing was wrong.

Now I am not entirely sure he did not have stomach pains this morning but the mood change that happened so quickly makes me wonder if my little guy got so upset about school his tummy was more of a nervous tummy. Unfortunately tomorrow he will have to attend a FULL day of school, no mama, no nana! I can only imagine how this will all play out. Luckily the bus will not start for Landon until Monday so Thursday and Friday I will be able to do drop-off/pick-up.

GOOD LUCK LANDON!!!
