First Day of School
Today was the first day of school for both Sophie and Genevieve.
Genevieve started kindergarten today. We dropped her off and she very uneventfully walked in the door. We didn't even think to bring the camera. We're awful parents and she'll probably need to go through years of counseling to get past this issue. On the brighter side: she loved it. She wasn't really clear on what parts she liked besides the swings (her old school didn't have swings) but she was very clearly pleased.
Sophie started separation class today. That was far from uneventful. We expected that this intrepid little warrior would turn her back on her parents and march bravely into class like a good spartan. This, sadly, was not to be. She woke up crying a little before 7AM and spent the entire morning in a tantrum. I carried her into school where every teacher was shocked. The common refrain was, "I've never seen Sophie cry." Well folks the secret is out: Sophie not only cries she can scream too. After 30 minutes of class (screaming the whole time) she started begging me to take her to the other side of the door.
"Go", *gasp*, "other", *sob*, "side", *sniffle*, "door" repeat.
I'm sure the other parents were pleased to see us go. After twenty minutes of screaming in the hall of school we decided to pack it in. We took her to the super market where she promptly fell asleep in the backseat. I guess screaming for 4 hours will really wear you out. It's a good thing we didn't have a camera or she would need to go through years of counseling to get past this issue. Maybe we aren't awful parents after all.
