Getting Used to School

10 days have passed since my little man become a school goer. It is still hard for me to let him go, and harder still when I get reports of his ups and downs at school.

Most of the time he seems like he has had a good day, he tells me what he ate. He tells me what they did, and how he felt. He tells me how the kids are loud, and it bothers him. He tells me how some kids are naughty and the teacher gets mad. And when asked if she is ever mad at him he tells me she wants them all to sit with their hands crossed on the table a certain way- and if he doesn't then she gets cross.

It's those little things that make me sad- of my boy having to conform to a set way of doing things- and getting snapped at if he doesn't.

I know that God is using this for growing both him and us- and I pray harder than ever that God will protect and guard and lead and grow my son.

All these early mornings have my boy tuckered out and on the verge of a cold, he is coughing already.

His favorite part of his week is getting to go to the Lego Robot club- he made his first robot the first lesson and he was ecstatic!

He also had his first piano lesson and theory lesson with his new teacher this week. The piano teacher left him satisfied, but having a new man theory teacher was a shock to him and left him rather put out. Praying for a change of attitude in my boy- on those long days when he has 5 lessons, then piano and then theory all in a row- it makes a for a long day for him.

So we are busy learning to adjust to his new life, going to bed earlier, doing homework and all that comes with school.

Happy studying!
