First day of school





I took the girls into the school this morning and their different personalities really began to show. Jadelyn started acting like she was in charge from the minute we got there. Her butt kissing was on full force well before the bell rang! She was hugging and complimenting the teacher within the first five minutes. When I left her, she was telling all the other kids what to do, where to put their supplies, and organizing her work space. My little Madelyn, on the other hand, looked traumatized! I don't know if any of you watch MadTV, but there is a character named Stuart on there that so reminded me of how Maddy was acting. She stood in the doorway to her class and froze. When I would tell her to move she would say, " I don't wanna" real soft and quiet. It was just so Stuart! She refused to speak to the teacher or anyone for that matter. She wasn't sad or mad just wouldn't talk. I sat her down at her table and tried to get her to play blocks with the other girls, again she whispered " I don't wanna." I introduced her to the girl next to her and told her she could be her friend. To this she said, " I don't want any friends." (Which is soooo Tony) I eventually walked away as she stared straight ahead with her hair covering her eyes. I worried about her all day because in Preschool it took her 3 days to talk. I just knew she'd end up in special ed by the end of the day! But, our first day is over now and Jadelyn's lips are hurting from butt kissing all day and Maddy talked! Now, tomorrow will be the first ever bus ride so we'll see how that goes.

Hysterical! I love your little quips. And I quote "Stuart" almost on a daily basis so I feel for Maddy! I'm glad they had a good first day!
