A week before school started, Camden started begging me to homeschool him. He still remembers the year we homeschooled well. He had some valid points but right now is not the time. I can barely keep up with doctor appointments and therapy! I figured he would just adjust quickly like always after a few days.
Wrong. Camden has turned into this kid we don't even know. He "hates" school. On the 3rd day of school, Aaron came to me and said Camden was laying on the couch sick. Now, I am an expert at knowing a faker! But, Camden had me fooled. No clue how he got his eyes to look so dark and tired. I kept him home because last year he told me he was sick and I wasn't believeing but then he threw up all afternoon. But, this time he was faking. I gave him the old "you are not allowed to fake sick, Mommy and Daddy can go to jail lecture. He must have had ear plugs in because he tried it again. This time I told him he was going to school sick or not. He threw the biggest tantrum EVER. SO not Camden!!!
He comes home telling me all his new friends names. His classmates flocked to him when I brought him in late from a doctors appointment. He is well liked. He says no one is being mean to him. He does his work well and has no problems. He just "hates" school. So after a 2 weeks of this, I asked his teacher for her email. I plan on writing her and asking if she is noticing anything during class.
I'm afraid the poor kid got my anxiety. He loves to be home. He loved being home everyday for two years with Ailyn. But, he's also very social and loves to be around people.
I'm hoping he can get over what ever it is. I don't like seeing him so upset. And, this new tantrum thing.....yeah NO....not having it!
Ailyn on the other hand is LOVING school! A post coming soon!
