Josiah's 1st Day of School

Josiah had a really tuff time going to school. He had anxiety over it for weeks before school even started. If anyone asked him about it he would shout "I'm not going to school, I'm not going". His first day wasn't as bad as it could have been but he was not very happy. He cried from the time he woke up.

As you can see he was happy once he got out of school. This was taken right after he got to Aunt Shee Shee's while I was there on my lunch break. He said he had a good time, but when I asked him if he was excited to go back tomorrow he said "Oh no, I'm not going back tomorrow, I'm not going!"

Day 2 went much better! He actually let me take some really cute pictures of him smiling! I tried to play outside with him for a little bit before we went inside just to loosen him up a bit, but once we got inside he started to get upset. He cried the 2nd day also but not as bad as the 1st day.

The third day when we pulled into the parking lot he said "Mommy I don't wan't to take anymore pictures". I guess the 1st & 2nd day is good enough. Today was his 7th day of school. He is doing much better. Now he just hangs his head low and stands in the door way pouting util the teacher destracts him. He says he has a lot of fun and always seems excited to show us his work. He's doing a really good job. We're very proud of him!
