School: Day Four

Today was Arlo's fourth day of school and the afternoon report was a good one - hooray! He's had a hard time with the transitions in the morning (being left behind by mom has not gone easily) but today, after we'd been there a while, he got so engrossed in the morning circle that he didn't notice me tiptoeing out the door. Circle time includes songs and dancing - they go around and greet each friend and that kid gets the chance to dance, if they want to, inside the circle. By the time they'd greeted six kids I realized he was no longer paying attention to where mom was and I slipped out. When Sam picked him up this afternoon, he was in a good mood and even hugged and kissed one of his teachers on the way out the door. He's in a good mood and singing and telling stories from class, as has been the case all week.

We really like his class, his teachers, and the principal at the school. They are understanding, caring, smart and fun. I think this is the start of something good...
