Better Than I expected. The day started with an EPIC meltdown which made me think it was not going to be a good day. We get these meltdowns all the time, early in the morning was just odd. Wife took him to school and there were no calls. When I picked him up, he was separated from the other kids playing with one of his teachers. She looked exhausted. Talking to his main teacher, she asked "Does he take naps?"
NO. Not since he was an infant. He runs, and runs and runs and then refuses to rest. Remember in college when you would go to the bar and then come home and study and not go to bed until 5 or 6? Nile is 3 and a half and he does that every day. By the end of the week he has dark circles under his eyes that rival his dad's.
Come to find out it is during nap time (quiet time), that Nile tends to be the most disruptive. He actually does very well during "class" time. That struck me funny because his old man was always a master of the reverse. I'm going to try to get him to settle down more at home and if that doesn't work I may end up picking him up early (12:30 instead of 2:00) to save his teachers. The poor girl that was with Nile was supposed to be watching the babies at the school. I did get the feeling from the people at the school that they saw him as a challenge, not a burden. This was not the case with the other school.
He is getting something from this new school though, he was singing all kinds of new songs we hadn't heard before this weekend. Kid likes to sing, ain't nothing wrong there.
This definitely sounds like a step forward for Nile.
