The week before......

This is the week before my first baby goes to school for the first time. You know, most moms are anxious about their baby going to school, but I think I am anxious for different reasons.

Here are my thoughts and questions about Alex going to school:

1. Who will make his food and make sure he eats the healthy stuff first?

2. Will his friends think he is cool, or will they pick on him? :) (I was never cool, so I have no idea why I have this question)

3. Will the other children behave well enough for him not to have a meltdown? (He is a typical peer in a special education classroom, which means he is the role model)

4. He is a baby, will they let him cry or make him stop?

5. He will NOT get on that bus for transportation! (Unless it is a fieldtrip....and can't moms go?)

6. What will happen when he says the blessing loudly and slowly (because he and his sister have to say it together) before breakfast and lunch?

I had a lot more questions until this morning when I met with his teacher and the 2 aids that will be in his classroom. He will be in a class with 7 other boys, so here we go single gender classroom!

Being in the Guidance degree program, I may know too much about special ed for my child to be in the class, but hopefully he will become a well rounded, accepting little boy by being in the class. I just hope he becomes a better kid because of it! I am so excited! (and ready to only have one child at work with me)

I feel for the other moms that have been there before and will be there one day! Good Luck is all I can say!

Have a great first week at school!
