Meltdown

[peapod1980]

My kindergartner had one this morning, and it was awful. First time it's happened to me, so I felt like a total rookie. He cried, I came home and cried. I haven't posted any first day pics, so here's his from last week:

I promise you that it was over before you unlocked your car to drive home.

And yes, those tears will rip your guts out.

I told Mr. Pod I'd never had an unhappy kindy kid before, and I'm too old to learn new things. He said I have a lot of new things ahead of me. I'm sure he can't be referring to my high school freshman boy and adolescent daughter. :shock:
The tears and the, "But I want you to stay with me all day."

Yes, I bet when you go back to pick him up today, he'll be laughing, happy and won't say a thing about his melt-down. ;-)

Oh, I'm so sorry. It will cetainly be soon forgotten. My #1 told me EVERY day, "I don't want to go to school!" I think that went through Kindergarten and first grade. That was funn!

Oh poor Pea! Your lil guy looks so happy in the picture from last week, his smile is so sweet. Everyone is right, he was fine before you left the parking lot. But your heart hurt much longer. The school bus driver had to talk Beth onto the bus every morning for awhile. She loved it before long. It will pass for lil Pea too.

I used to tell my dad every day in 1st grade that I didn't want to go to school either. I always got so homesick. He used to tease me that I was going to be a "first grade drop-out."

Awww, I love his picture. I'm sure he wasn't unhappy for long! How's mom doing now?
