It has been a rough beginning to kindergarten. The night before the first full day, Sasha was up a ton. She kept saying her throat hurt. We snuggled the whole night because I thought it was her worries & all the crying she had done that day. All summer she has been worried about starting & the day was here!
We got up that morning, she was crying & not eating . I somehow I got her ready & to school. She was trying to be brave, but tears were in her eyes. She barely ate breakfast that day & even the teacher was worried because she didn't eat lunch. That night she came down with a fever & was sick into the next week. She had croup! Now all this nasty sickness was plaguing us & the worries that she already had about starting school. She is going Mon. / Wed. all day & Fri. half day. Those whole days were freaking her out & there are only two! Honestly, we still wish for those five half days.
We still have some tears & fears, but it is slowly getting better. All this sickness has really made her OCD kick in. She has become extremely germ phobic. She ask us all if we have washed our hands too. She won't share food & if it falls on the table, "forgetta bout it". People who believe in the the "5 second rule" flip her out. Her hands are always raw from washing & now the schools really emphasize using sanitizers, so they are worse. We are working on it with her, but it is a struggle. Life can never be simple, can it?
