It only took 9 days but by last Friday Alissa finally decided she liked school. Every morning before that she cried, told me she wasn't going and made up some very colorful excuses for a 4 year old. Her first one was that her belly hurt and she was too tired. That didn't work. Then there was the fact that she would miss Dora. She still had to go to school. My favorite was that she had a kick-off so she couldn't go. I have no idea what that even means. :) Her last attempt was that she was afraid they would hurt her head. After almost 2 weeks I really didn't see that as a possibility and again she went to school anyway. Every morning she clung to me and had to be pryed off by her teacher. Of course, she was always excited and happy about school when I came to get her. She always changes her mind by morning though. Then on Thursday it happened, she got out of the car without running to the back seat and tring to hide. She walked in and sat at her breakfast table like a big girl and told me bye. We did have to get in a few extra hugs and kisses before she would let me go but she didn't try to follow me when I left.
She also has friends, one boy and one girl. The girls name is Wildcat, but it's not her real name, and the boy... She describes him as the "hot spikey haired boy". Apperently she spends too much time listening to Chey and her friends.
