First Day Blues

First day of school had a rough start. Tears from Marian when she learned that she wasn't going to be riding the bus today, because Mom and Dad actually wanted to see her off to 4th grade.

Aidan was fine until we went into the room, and it was a little chaotic b/c our orientation last week really wasn't much of one b/c they were having to add a class that day, so the class lists were needing to be rearranged. So we didn't get to meet the exact teacher and explore the room beforehand. I think he would have been fine if (1) he'd gotten to sit NEXT to his friend in the class and (2) the 3 little girls who were crying were NOT standing with their parents right next to his assigned seat.

Tears were flowing from him and me when I left, although I don't think he saw me crying. Hopefully he had a good day, because tomorrow morning they are supposed to start riding the bus. If today didn't go well, I don't see him having any incentive for getting on the bus in the morning. Fingers crossed...
