First Day of School!





Well, it's official- Little Bug is in school. This morning was a bit rocky. In general, he was pretty high strung and resistant to any diviation from routine. He cried about having chocolate milk and not white milk. The wrong kind of cereal sent him into a 15 minute fit. The shower this morning sounded like he was being murdered.

We thought that things were getting better because by 8:30, he was playing with his toys. Unfortunately, not. While he voluntarily put on his shoes and harness, waiting for the bus was another story. There was lots of stimming and ear covering; verbalizing and trying to fling himself on the ground.

When the bus showed up, she had us hand him through the door so she could strap him in. Big mistake. His screams could be heard over the bus and soon she was asking for help. He was hitting and pinching his face while flailing and making it near impossible to finish strapping him in. It took the two of us to get him in. The driver asked me to ride with him this morning to make for a better transition.

He seemed to be doing beter once we got to school and he recognized the buildings and the aides. Hopefully, the rest of the day goes better.
