c-r-y-b-a-b-y

I've learned how to spell c-r-y-b-a-b-y efficiently and discretely in answer to the question: 'how is jack doing in school?'  the first two months of kindergarten has turned jack into a c-r-y-b-a-b-y.  every day when I walked to pick him up, he was already in tears or bursting into tears about the littlest of things- a forgotten waterbottle, tripping on the stairs, it was hot outside, etc...  CRYING every single day!  having held it together all day long at school, he lost it at the sight of me.  at home, he was exhausted, he couldn't handle playdates well because of his irritability, he dreaded the next day of school, and every morning he anxiously checked and re-checked his short list of to-dos.  that is, until this past week.  it has stopped.  he's been confident.  he's playful again after school.  and he has even expressed excitement for school!  it's so nice to have him back.

the kids earn keys for demonstrating certain school values- jack got one for integrity.
