Anxious

I am in a cafe logged on to the internet, drinking green tea and waiting for EJ to finish his class in three hour's time. It seems perfect.

Except it is not. I am anxious. I feel like any minute I'd get a call from the head teacher telling me EJ has not stopped crying. I can't help checking my phone every two minutes.

Today is the day that I leave him alone in school. Since Monday, I always stay inside the room for a few minutes. If he's settled, I'd go out and wait at the office. He knows that. He sneaks out of the room once in a while to check on me =)

But today I told him that I'd pick him after his class. He said okay. I hope he really meant it.

This school thing is harder than I thought. I know I said I'm over the separation anxiety but I can't help but feel worried.

Ahhh...

it will get better once the new routine has set in. kids like predictability and routine. but there will be bad days, too, especially if he hasn't had enough sleep the night before.

Mimi - I really hope so =)

Kayni - No, I didn't get any call that day. EJ behaved all throught their class. He didn't even cry =)
