First day of 2nd grade AUG 8 2012

We got here just in time for Mason to start school. They have 4 classes per grade. I was so nervous for him and you could tell he was nervous. We packed him a lunch and all planned to take him to school. They have to provided everything that they might need to use at school, Like- copy paper, pencil, crayons, markers, pencil box, 24 glue sticks, elmers glue, dry erase markers, note books, etc. plus you had to buy the agenda books that they will be using for the year. So that was different from what we were used to bringing. We leave the house in plenty of time for school to start at 7:54am we get to the school around 7:40 and the line to drop off or even to park is crowded. We finally had Darren and Mason get out and take him to the door. After school I go to get him and school gets out at 2:45pm and I left my house at 2:50 and still waited in the drive pick up line for about 20minutes (I hate that this is all they have to get the kids unless you walk and we leave to far away to walk). Mason gets in the car and I ask," How was your day?" and that is when the TEARS came. He has NO friends and WANTS to move back to Cottonwood. He did NOT want to move here. I felt so bad that I start to cry wanting to move back to where it was easier and we know everybody. He said all the kids ran by me and I sat by myself at lunch. Well we challenged him to find a friend the next day. In his class it is only him and one other new kid. So he played with the new kid the second day. Then the 3rd day he played tag with the kids. This is a new week and he  plays tether ball with the kids. I went to enrichment and met a mom that her son wants to play with Mason so bad. So that was good to hear and told Mason that he was going to have a friend from church. We will continue to see how school goes and we all know that it can't get any worse for him... It can only get better.
