I can't believe that it's been more than a month since Nathaniel started Kindergarten! It is a full day program here, and honestly, I had a lot of anxiety about it. He is a homebody, and admitedly a Momma's boy. He loves to play with other kids- but not for hours on end. He really does love his alone time, and will literally push others away when bothered too much. But regardless of our nervousness over this new adventure, he was a great sport!
He was so happy when he got off the bus! He told me all about his day and friends he made... he was good to go- that is until the next morning. While eating breakfast, he said, "Mommy, I'll stay home today to eat lunch with you." Aw, isn't he sweet? That was his way of saying he didn't want to go to school. So, I sent him on his way, and he was not happy about it, until we walked to the bus stop with our neighbors. By the time the bus came, he was ready to go. What a relief! Now there are still a couple days when he'd rather stay home and have lunch with me, but usually he's very excited to go to school and learn something new!
