The kids started in person school yesterday. It was a relief. I walked Bertram to school, just like in the old days. Then Aaron and I drove Bron to preschool. There are only 3 kids in her class, the other three or four are online. She walked in without hesitation. Aaron teared up a little at dropping her off. Aside from church nursery, this is her first time on her own. She did well her first day. She kept her mask on, which was a surprise to me. Bertie had a decent first day with one little bump in the middle.
Today (the second day) Bron ran to preschool, and had a good day. Bertie did not have a good day. He started out ok, but got frustrated in math. Then started yelling and crying. So we went to hang out with the principal. She called me. That makes me worried. I don't want him to have to change schools. I also don't want him to hate school. I know there is going to be an adjustment period. He's been home for a year. But it's still disappointing. And it makes me feel like a crappy parent. He told me on the way home that he felt a little homesick at school. I told him it'll get easier as time goes on. I hope that is true.
