Well our kindergartener woke up early and groggy on Monday morning ready to start a new adventure in her life...or so we thought! Brooklyn is loving her teacher and loving her school but has had quite a time adjusting to the exhaustion and school. She has been crying daily and we have been trying all we can to work with her on it. I emailed her teacher on Wednesday and she responded with a wonderful email with a suggestion to bring a family picture to school and when Brooklyn misses us she can pull it out of her backpack. I asked Brooklyn and she said it would make her more sad! She says she can't help it and she just gets sad when she thinks about us not being at school with her. Her teacher said that Brooklyn is not the only one crying so I am wondering if that is helping to prolong her tears also. We just don't know! We tried offering a surprise if she had a day with no crying and she started crying saying that she wouldn't be able to do that and so she wouldn't get the surprise! Brooklyn has always been very hard on herself and very much a perfectionist. She does get all of that from me unfortunately. Her teacher also said that she comes with such a "suitcase of knowledge and vocabulary" and so that made me feel good that she is having times of not being sad and participating!
TODAY she said she didn't cry at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is Friday and we have battled all week but we ARE SO PROUD OF HER! She was so happy today and loving her school and was very proud of herself that she didn't cry. She told me that she must have just been very nervous but now she is not!
yay!
