Last Thursday Dakota's preschool took a field trip to a local orchard. We couldn't have asked for a better day. It was gorgeous outside with the sun shining, and the temp around 80. Everything went well until Dakota wanted his sunglasses. I didn't have them, and he just had a total meltdown. He started with the usual, "I'm tired.", "I wanna go home," bit. I wasn't going to hold him. I ended up leaving him with his teacher so that maybe he would calm down, and pay attention. The director ended up holding his hand, and staying with him because he kept throwing a fit. I ended up hiding behind parents so I could stay and try to get some pictures. By the end of the field trip the director told him if he sat nicely I would sit with him. So, as you see him drinking his fresh cider (aka- apple juice) he looks happy.
Being a stay-at-home mom is great when it comes to school activities because I am able ot go with them. But it is days like these that make me upset because I wonder if neither of us are going to get to enjoy if I am around...... We will see. There are many more to come. :)
