At least no fits
Well it has been a month since school started and every morning I have had to hand off Big Cubby to his teacher as he refuses to move to get in line and tears up a little. Good news is that there have not being in screaming fits like the one Monday where I dragged him to school.
Still he plays with his friends before the bell rings and then when it rings he comes to me and doesn't want to get in line.
I am over it now. I just say bye and have a good day as I gently push him to the line then the teacher intercepts and I take my other two little ones and head for the van.
He is fine once he gets into school and actually has fun and a good day. I tell I am tired of this morning ritual. I found out there is another little boy in a different first grade class have problems as well his start at home and getting into the car but once he is at the school he is fine.
At least I am not alone. We will see how this week goes.
On Friday 20 minutes before the bell to end school went off, I get a call from the school nurse telling me that BC had a headache and a slight fever. I had just pulled up to the school so I went in to get him. Just as we were pulling up to the house BC starts throwing up in the van. I jump out trying to unlock the doors and finally get him out where he threw up on the ground. Too late for the van though.
I spent Saturday trying to clean the carpet to get the smell out. I vacuumed and washed it down. I still smell it faintly and I don't know if it is just me because the smell burns the nose or if it is actuall still there. So gross.
That is my week!

Update from yesterday
Hubby came home from work early yesterday and all of us went to pick up Big Cubby from school. I took the kids and headed for the van while Hubby talked with BC's teacher.
Five minutes after he got into class he settled down and was good and participated all day. He came out of school with a smile on his face.
When we got home we had a talk and basically he wants to stay home and play. He is afraid that his brother is playing with his toys.
His teacher told him it is his job to go to school and it is my job to take him to school and take care of him and is sibiling. It is his daddy's job to go to work. She sets a timer and tells him when it goes off he has to come and join the class. He did.
His punishment at home was he had to donate a toy which we picked out and it would be gone for ever. He was very upset with this but the point was driven home we are going to do what we say and that school is more important than toys. He has been warned that more toys will be gone if he keeps this up.
At first we thought it might be problems with kids in his class. The teacher says not the case. First graders are watched pretty closely. The even have to wait by the door when school is out until a parent goes up to get them.
So all the drama because he wants to play. Here is hoping today will be better.

Oh boy it got worse
Today was the big one. Big Cubby had a full out breakdown this morning before school. It started at home right when we were going to leave for school. I had a horrible time trying to get him in the van. I did and then he would not get into his seat and buckle up.
I had Hubby on the phone and basically told him he goes to school or all his new toys he got for his birthday are thrown away. That did not stop him.
We eventually got to school but he did not want to leave the van. I finally coaxed him out of the van and locked it up. He refused to leave the side of the van and would not cross the street to school. I had to pull him across. Meanwhile I had to have someone hold Ladybug and watch Little Cubby as I pulled him across the school yard to the door he goes into. All the kids and parents watched as BC screamed and cried that he did not want to go to school and that he thought it was boring. I get him to his line and hand him off to his teacher and said I am so sorry. I turned around started crying and grabbed my two other kids and headed to the van.
I turned around and I see BC throwing himself on the floor in the school.
He says he misses me and that school is boring. I know that once he is there he is fine and has fun.
This was the most embarassing moment BC and I have ever had. I don't know what else to do. I know it is early still but we are going into the third week and he has all ready had a year at this school. I pray that he gets better soon.
There is no way I can homeschool this kid. I don't have the patience or ability to do this. We are too much alike. It would not work out.
I feel sick to my stomach.

Two bad days
This week Big Cubby had two bad days. Wednesday and today. What I mean about bad days is crying before going into school after the bell has rung.
Wednesday I know it was from being tired we all were because Little Cubby was up all night crying because he said there were bugs. There were no bugs and I don't have the slightest idea of were he got this in his head.
So it was obvious BC was tired. His teacher was great. She took him by the shoulders and guided him in.
Today, I was not expecting it. The bell rang and he started crying telling me he was going to miss me. I reassured him and his teacher lead him to the front of the line and into the school. I turned and walked away quickly. I don't know what caused it today. We all seemed to have slept well last night.
I am having flashbacks of last year when he kicked and screamed on the floor at school. I haven't seen any other kid (all first graders line up in the same area and go in the same door)act like this.
It breaks my heart and is embarassing at the same time.
He does like school and once he is in has fun. Don't know if I can handle more of this.
I just pray that he finds peace at school and realizes that he is not missing anything at home and is having more fun there then here.
We will see how next week goes.
This weekend we are having his birthday party at Pump It Up! 19 kids are coming should be entertaining. Wish me luck.
