Primary = success!

Soooo excited!!! The boys were soooo good in Sunbeams! I had a plan – to help them be as independent (read, not clingy) as possible. I stayed with them through Sharing Time and this time had each sit on a chair. When we walked as a class to their designated room upstairs, I held my hands by my head so that they wouldn’t hold it and was the last in the line. I’m sure I looked ridiculous to the occasional passerby J They were so excited to find their room! They recognize it and sat on the chair while I stood by the door “busy” looking for something in my purse. The teacher had brought crayons and paper, and when the boys realized that they were elated. And so I kissed each good-bye, and headed to the door without looking back when I heard Apollo say: “mamãe, Apollo não ‘tá triste” (mom, Apollo is not sad) – yes, they speak of themselves in the third person. I smiled at him, congratulated him, and went on to teach my Beehives.
