Well today is Shelby’s first day of school and I had intended on staying at least for a little while but when I got there she was sooo happy about being there and the teachers said they didn’t need me to stay so reluctantly I left and as I pulled out of the parking lot I called Erin so I wouldn’t feel so alone on my ride home. I felt like an idiot riding down the road with tears streaming down my face. About an hour after I left I got a phone call and the woman said she was the school nurse but that it wasn’t an emergency call all in one breath so that I didn’t freak out or anything, she just needed instructions on how to give Shelby some water with her feeding tube so I answered all her questions. I am so worried that my stomach is in knots. I am sure she is fine but I can’t help but worry that she might have a bad day or someone might pick on her or she will just not like her new class and if she comes home acting like she didn’t like it I am afraid I won’t be able to understand why she didn’t like it because even though I have gotten pretty good at understanding some of what she says I still don’t know most of what she says. She looks happy though dosn't she? I know I’m rambling and I’ll stop.
So Shelby starts school on Monday and I am not sure I am going to handle it so well but after going to the open house I am pretty sure she is ready to start. She is just so social and loves to be in school she was one of the most popular kids in preschool witch meant she was never without playmate on the playground but by the same token sometimes it kept her from getting to play because if she was drawing the other kids would come over to play with her and before she knew it she was left without a marker and she would look at the teacher and grunt and the teacher would have to tell the kids that she needed a marker but that was all it took and she would have like 4 or 5 kids handing her their marker. I know she will do well I guess I am just worried because this isn't just a school full of preschool age kids their are older kids at this new school and I don't want her to be picked on. Okay I know I'm rambling but that is what I do when I am nervous.
