Wyatt’s teacher with the robotic hand

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

My son Wyatt has started kindergarden this year.  He asked me before school, with a concern look on his face, ”what if I have to go to the bathroom?”  I told him to tell the teacher and she will let him go.  “What if I don’t know where it is?”  I told him the teacher would hold his hand and take him.  “What if she has a robotic hand mommy?”  “She doesn’t have a robotic hand Wyatt.”….”but what if she does and it falls off!”  I told him to hold her other hand.  He said, “but what if that hand is robotic?”  I told him just to pee his pants!  Kids ask questions just to ask questions…don’t they??

yellowbus.jpgSchool starts tomorrow for the boys!!  I can’t believe it!  Austin will be in 3rd grade and Wyatt is now a big kid in Kindergarten, I want to cry.  Is that normal?  I feel so anxious everytime I think about my baby going to school.  Mike and I met the teachers yesterday.  Austin will have the same teacher he did in 1st grade and he loves her, so that’s a relief.  Wyatt met his teacher also yesterday.  It started pretty slow, because Wyatt is so shy.  Once the teacher mentioned Star Wars, they became life long friends :)  Wyatt LOVES Star Wars and her husband collects the action figures.  We all left in a great mood and a with a big smile….I’m still afraid I’m going to cry tomorrow when I drop him off!  :(
