FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL!

Ethan was so excited for school. He was a little upset when he found out that he would not be riding the bus. I then found out that he had a lot of expectation of what school would be. He wanted to go to the newly built elementary school by our church. When I told him preschool would be at someones house he wanted to know if he would have a principal, recess and homework. I think he must have been paying close attention to the neighbor kids that started kindergarten. He was still very excited and ready to head out the door and did not want to hold still for a picture. Kyra was also very excited. I think she thought she would get to go also. when I went to pick him up he was happy and said he had a good time. As we started up the stairs he said he need his homework. The teacher told him they didn't have home work and he began to cry. He ended up throwing an all out tantrum like nothing I ever seen before. Of course his teachers ended up giving him a work sheet to make him happy.That was not what he wanted. I dragged him out of the house screaming and crying about homework. I forced him into the car and he yelled and cried all the way home go back and get my homework. I finally got him to calm down after throwing my own tantrum. Once he was calmed down he told me he just wanted a plain piece of paper like one from the printer. So now we know that when he asks for home work to give him a plain white paper. He has loved school and we have not had any other issues.
