Kindergarten

Today was my baby boy's first day of Kindergarten. I did good since this really isn't his first time going to school. I was his first time in a "normal" classroom. He has been in school since he was 2 years old and nine months going to EMECEC.Ryan getting ready to go to school

I took him to the place in front of C1 where his class was sitting. It was SUPER crowded with all the kids and the parents so he was having a little bit of a hard time with all the people. He didn't want me to leave his side or even move. No name tag for him, but Mrs. Kupfer said they all knew who he was so it was okay. I told her I thought he would be better in about an hour after everything had calmed down. The next thing I know she said let me take him inside and show him around. So the three of us went in and she showed him what to do and his chair. As soon as we got inside the tears stopped and he was fine. He is sitting next to a little girl he knows from church so that was good and then Mrs Kupfer showed him his special spot. Back story on that remember earlier this summer Ryan did swimming lessons with Mrs. Kupfer at her house so they could get to know each other a little better. At the end of July was girls camp. My mother in law has gone for the past 11 years as a cook the good thing about this is that Mrs. Kupfer is the Camp director. I really don't know how she does everything anyway that week at camp Mrs. Kupfer was able to talk to Lynda about Ryan and what to do if.... Ryan's big thing is that he gets overly stimulated wither it be just to many kids or being pointed out to do something or or or. So she asked what we did when this happens so she told her you just have to let him go to a quite spot and let him decompress if not what has happened in his other classes is he will quietly fall to the floor curl up in a ball and just quietly cry a lot of times you don't even know that he is doing it till you are looking around the room for the tallest kid in the class and can't find him. So Mrs. Kupfuer said she would make a special spot for Ryan behind her desk where he can go for a quite spot.

So that is Ryan's special spot she told him that if it gets to crazy that he could come and sit back here on this cool blanket and chill out for a while. He thought that was cool so I thought this was going to be a good time to make my exit since he was happy. So I gave him a kiss and he said by mom.

Today wasn't only the first day of school but it was no bus and early release. I guess the world didn't end since I never got a phone call. I went to go and pick him up this afternoon and she said that he did great. He got a little gun shy a couple of times during class and kind of freaked out at lunch. He hasn't ever eaten lunch at school before and he showed him the cafeteria on meet the teacher night and it was crazy then and from what I gathered it was a little crazy today at lunch she said that he did good though and he told me that he got to go on the playground 2 times today he was so excited. I asked him if he wanted to come back tomorrow and he said yes so I guess that it a good thing.
