Kindergarten Craze

So my 5 yr old Austin just started kindergarten on Monday. His entire year of preschool I had been preparing him that he would attend the "new school". In doing this, I knew he would be terrified of kindegarten. He gets very overwelmed and anxious easily, traits he unfortunately inherited from me. The evening of Meet the Teacher he was, suprisingly, excited about going to school. He was happy to see alot of his friends from his kindergarten class and was raring to go. I thought "Wow, this is awesome. I guess all those boring summer days being stuck at home with me and his one year old brother paid off." Wrong. The moment came on Monday morning for his teacher to lead him and his other classmates away from us in the cafeteria and to his classroom. And I could see the tears begin to form in his red little eyes. How sad! But what can I do other than reassure him everything would be fine and he would get used to a funfilled day. I waved goodbye one last time and said a silent prayer for him to have a good day. The time finally came for me to pick him up and when he got into the car, he began to tell me how he vried when his teacher took them to PE class because she had left and at lunch because she had left also. Needless to say, he told me "I hate school and NEVER want to go back. Can't you just tell them I am sick so I don't have to go?" Of course I told him no and have ever since been trying to reassure my first born son that school is fun and he has to go to learn. My attempts have yet to suceed. And I continue on with the craze that comes with kindergarten...
