After Indy kept stalling about getting out of bed this morning I asked a question I didn't want the answer too.
R: Are you excited to get back to school and see your friends today?
I: No.
R: Why not?
I: They're mean.
R:Who's mean?
I: Will and Jakob.
R: How are they mean?
I: They hit me . . . hit me . . . hit me.
R: Will it be fun to see EJ?
I: He's mean too.
R: Is Merit mean?
I: No, Merit is my friend.
R: You could play with Timmy.
I: I like Merit.
So, it ended on a better note and we got out of bed and got moving. But it still made me sad. This explains why he chews the collar of his shirt when he walks into school. I'm not sure what to do exactly, but I will figure it out. I'll move to the mountains and home school this kid if I have too. Is it too much to expect that he feel safe and confident at school? Perhaps.
