FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! (Posted 2005-09-07 21:13:58 by Ray Lopez) Today was the first day of school for our not-quite-four-year-old boy. He's attending the Acorn School in San Antonio. We've had him on the waiting list since before he was born, and he just now got in for this year! For this first day, the school allowed parents to be there for the entire session. Our son inherited his mom's shyness and spent the first 30 minutes or so crying and telling us he did not want to do anything that the other kids were doing. I was getting a bit upset and it was clear to me that my sweetie was also getting upset, but we both finally just decided to relax and we told him to relax as well. After that things seemed to go pretty well. One more for the parenting memories! His teachers are "Mrs. Sudie" and "Mrs. Julie". They are both seasoned professionals with about 50 years of teaching experience between them. They are exceptionally kind, both to our son and also to us. -------- There are no comments on this post.
