Today was Sean’s first day of school. I had to leave home around 5:30am since my schedule has changed to 7am-3:30pm. That way I can pick him from school.
Aji called around 7:30am and Sean was still watching TV. He had some puttu and milk for breakfast. I wished him good luck for his first day and he seemed pretty happy. It has been pouring rain from last night and is supposed to continue till tonight. Needless to say it reminded of my first day back at school in India which used to be in the Monsoon season. Sean had a similar experience today.
I called aji later and he was telling me that Sean was very happy when he dropped him off today. He met his teacher Ms Poncho. Aji gave all his extra clothes for his cubby and Sean seemed comfortable in his new class and was happy to be back. He immediately spotted a small airplane in his class and told aji 'Why can’t Appacha and Ammachi come back? I want to talk to Ammachi. We should pick Appacha and Ammachi from the airport.' Paavam kuttan. He sure is missing them terribly. I guess he will feel better in a few days as he gets busy with school and activities and new friends. I’m hoping he won’t have trouble telling his teachers if he has to use the potty. I’m sure he’ll do just fine but I just cant quit worrying. I guess that’s just part of being a Mom. Aji said that Sean’s class looked and smelled new since they installed new hardwood floors and newcarpets for the stairs leading to his class.
Here’s a toast to Sean for a wonderful and fun filled school year !!
