Oliver loves his new school. He enjoys his new friends and loves his new teacher. The last 3 years he attended the district childcare. It was a school/daycare. We loved his teachers and he did too, but he really hated going. Everyday for 3 years was a struggle every morning. He would cry and cry and cry. Mike and I would drop him off together and have to literally sneak out while they distracted him. It was HORRIBLE to say the least. Last year, he would tell us at night, " I don't like school" and "I don't want to go" and "______ is really mean and I don't want to go back." It broke our hearts. Luckily, he only went part-time last year (since my mother and mother-in-law were able to watch him too).
I recently read and article written by a mother/teacher whose son had out-of-the-normal behavior problems at his daycare and as soon as they changed day cares, he changed. No more problems and no more sadness.
Oliver's class is small, his classroom is organized, and his teacher has been teaching a long time. She seems sweet, calm, and loving. I think it's going to be a great year for Oliver. As Michael put it, "this is going to be Oliver's first GREAT teacher and she's going to leave a lasting impression". I think we all have that first great teacher we remember and I'm so glad Oliver will too.
Thanks Mrs. Wagner and thanks Ms. Brown.
