Anything But Gray

So Ben's transition to school IS going well and it has been a success.
However we have it a couple of little bumps, apparently.

On Tuesday, Ben threw a chair.
He was in the circle with all his classmates and he kept trying to sit in their laps.
The teacher told him 3 times to stop and of course, he didn't. When the kids don't listen, they get sent to a chair to sit in, away from the kids. Not in a corner or anything, but away from the group. Well, Ben didn't like that, so he threw the chair. The principal  came down to talk to him. (nice.)

The teacher told me about it when I picked him up and I he had had a  bad morning, so I just knew something like that was going to happen. She said he was fine otherwise, but just had that moment.

Well, me, Zak, Jaime, Kayla and Ben all go to Jaime's open house that night and as we're walking out, the principal says "Hey Ben, how are you doing?" And I say to the principal…"Nice, that's just nice…3 days in and you know his name!" LOL And we all start laughing….

Yesterday Zak and I pick him and the teacher AND the principal come over to talk to us. They said he had a great, great morning but he didn't want to come in for recess. He had some sticks that he didn't want to part with and kind of gave them a hard time about coming in.

So yeah…I maybe might've spoke just a wee bit too soon. LOL

The teachers are fine and they are saying it's fine, they are just letting us know about this stuff, but it's not a big deal and really, I did anticipate some issues for Ben and school…so we're taking it in stride and just keeping our fingers crossed that he adjusts soon.

And really, the principal knowing your name after only 3 days of school isn't necessarily a bad thing, right?
