Well, the honeymoon is well and truly over. Today after I picked Levi he was fragile and then cried at the smallest provocation. He sobbed and reported that he didn't want to go back to school and that he hated it.
Look at this sad face. Other than the fact it looks like a truck has driven over him, isn't it the saddest, most adorable thing. You just want to solve everything for him but you can't. That is just not what the real world is all about. He was sad because his friends wouldn't play with him today. I don't know why and he professes to not know why either. It was very real when he was telling me so I don't doubt it.
There must be some five step method they use to talk to friends at school. He said that he "speaked to them twice" and "walked away". He reported in an incredulous voice "I got all the way to Step 4". He never wants to go back because his friends don't like him anymore. He will be fine in the morning and really he just needs some sleep. I explained that his friends may just have wanted to play with other people today. I explained that they likely wanted to play together or play something different. He was not convinced and cried himself to sleep. I hope this is the biggest disappointment that this little guy has to cope with. I hope that he wakes up refreshed and happy and I am confident he will.
Levi tripped at school about 3 days ago and ripped up his knee. Coming out of After School Care this afternoon, he opened it back up again. I think that it didn't help this afternoon.
I am going to rub antibiotic cream on it tonight while he is asleep. He wasn't coping with the whole idea of cleaning it tonight. He will be much more amenable tonight in his sleep I'm sure. At least tomorrow is Friday and a much more relaxed day all around. It should be a quiet weekend. Levi actually asked for a quiet day, and I think that we both need it badly.
