We all slept in this morning and when I went in to wake up Cruz I thought he would be bouncing off the wall because it was his preschool Halloween party. Instead he was laying in bed and he told me he didn't want to go to school. I reminded him it was his party day and he still said he didn't want to go. I was shocked. I kept talking to him and then it all came out. He said he didn't want to go because he didn't want to sit in the naughty chair and have all of his friends look at him. I asked if that had happened to him yesterday and he said yes. He didn't mention anything about this when we talked about school the day before. My heart ached! I asked him what he did to be put in the naught chair and he said he couldn't remember. Then he started saying, "I just like to be silly." It was so cute. I told him that sometimes we can't be silly and your teacher is trying to teach you that for when you go into Kindergarten. He just said, I like being silly! The whole conversation was heart wrenching for me. We came downstairs and had breakfast and I finally convinced him to go to school. We were a little late but at least he went. When I picked him up he seemed happy and he said school was fun. School has definitely been a struggle this year. It is a very structured school and I think that might be hard for Cruz, but on the same hand I think it is good for him. He usually comes home really happy and he makes the cutest art projects and he seems to be learning. It is fun because I hear him sounding out words all the time and that is new since starting this school. I guess we will just hang tough. Cruz went as a ghost and he has wanted to be a ghost since last Halloween. Easy enough for me, I went to the Goodwill store and bought a $2 dollar sheet, cut some holes, and sewed a few places. He was a very scary ghost!!!!
