Today was Bin's first day of school. She is going Wed and Friday at Epiphany Lutheran. After the meet the teacher day, she realized that school did not mean playing with her friend. She told me this morning that she didn't want to go to school and she was going to be bad at school. When I dropped her off, she cried pitifully at the door. I went down the hall, realized I had left my forms in the car and by that time she had stopped crying and was playing happily with some toys. At the end of the day they said she was very good- no time outs. She did keep taking off her shoes and barely ate any lunch.
The other funny thing was their surprise at her climbing ability. I told them to watch her cause she is a great climber and can get into things you would never expect. And yet, when I picked her up, they said, omigosh, she is a climber. She got on top of all the playground toys and would wave down happily. We couldn't figure out how she did it and we would only turn our back on her for one second. I wonder if there are other parents who claim their kids are climbers who aren't as skilled as her and that is why they seemed so surprised.
An interesting conversation when I picked Bin up. Tomorrow is her playmate's birthday (he's two). I told her we should get him a present. She sadly told me that she can't play with him because she had to go to school. I guess she used to think his house was school, so now that she knows school isn't his house, she thinks she can't play with him. A weird logic, but for a two year old might make sense.
