For years, I have dreaded kindergarten!!!! Sending my "Little's" into the big world! What if he gets sick in the cafeteria? What if he needs me? Who will open his drinks & food for him? SO, many fears! I often thought I should home school Price, BC of the Food (and cafeteria) issues!!!
So, August is here and I have to send him off! Ugh!!! I'm so scared!!!!!
One the first day of school, I meet with his teacher, telling her all about Price and his eating. She was so kind and also told me we can bring a snack and keep it in the class in case he doesnt want what is offered.
I have told him all summer that if I pack yogurt or applesauce, he will have to open his own food and feed himself! He always says, "yes ma"am"!
Now, its the first day of school and I pack all his favorite junk! I also pack his "pink" (Ensure) School is over and he comes running to the car, happily telling me, "I got on green"!! (which means a great day) :-)
He never mentions the cafeteria!!!!!!!! WHEW!
That evening, I asked him how school was! How was lunch? How did he do sitting in there? Did anyone or anything bother him? How were the smells??......all I got in return was, "good"....
I was so relieved!!!!!! I asked again to make sure he was REALLY OK....(I'm CRAZY)...he says he did good! I leave it alone!
This is huge!!!! I'm SO happy! He WILL be OK!!!!!!
I have yet to actually pack his applesauce or yogurt! but, he does get his "pink" and chips and fruit snacks for lunch. He hasn't eaten anything yet, just drinks! (I'm OK with that)
