Colton 1st grade

 

1st grade is much much harder for me as a mom.  Kindergarten is only half a day and you kind of get used to them gone half a day with preschool and playdates but All day school that is so hard for me.  The morning of the first day Colton had some real anxiety he didn't want to go he was so scared and nervous.  I told him I would stay as long as he needed.  We went to Back to School morning and found his desk and met his teacher then went to Preston's class and met his teacher and got the rules and disclosures for the classes then I walked Colton back to class and he was feeling much better.  As I left I found myself worrying a lot about my little guy.  How was he doing?What about lunch?  I was tempted multiple times to go down and check on him.  When he came home he was so excited he had a great day. 
I talked to his teacher that night she said that she had to seperate him and his friend for talking to much...OH NO.  If you read my report cards from 1st grade all through school it reads " Celeste is such a joy in our class if only she could not talk soooo much"  I have a feeling Colton is going to be like his mama!!! At almost all parent teacher conferences my parents were told that I needed to be quiet.  I would like to say that I learned something so I could help him but I didn't.... I still love to talk.  I did sit down with him and talk with him and told him it's not good to have problems on the first day of school and we talked about some things he could do.  Needless to say I love him and know he will do awesome!!!
