Kindergarten Trauma

My daughter started kindergarten two weeks ago.  One day this week she woke up and said she didn't want to go school. After a few objections she went anyway.  The next day she repeated this behavior.  The third day she cried and cried and said that she just didn't want to go to school anymore.

My wife and I were worried the teacher or some other kids may have been mistreating my daughter. After some coaxing my wife went to school with my daughter, met with her teacher, and learned the the reason for her trauma:  apparently her class had been coloring and cutting pictures and she didn't like cutting straight lines...

I hope we can make it through this...

I love it!! Bron was upset this week because his pre-school teacher told him that he didn't know the ABC's and that he needed to listen. He was even more upset when I told him that his teacher was right!
