He ran into the playground and played with his friends, ran together with his friends to the school, where he put on his brakes and froze as soon as he passed the bootroom. I was able to walk/drag him to his coat hook where he firmly planted himself in his no position, in his ready to fight to the bitter end attitude. I of course had to leave, and the EA took over, as I heard the screams echo'ing down the hall.
I called the school 45 minutes later to see if he had calmed down. As soon as the secretary answered, I could hear my angel, er jekyl screaming in the background. Apparantly he calmed down sometime after that.
I finally got hold of the new counsellor that started on Friday. She touched base with me and will be touching base with Ethan and having a few chats, etc with him. She assured me that it is not much to worry.
ah, yeah.
Anyways, the past few days seemed to be pretty good and here's hoping that the rest of the week is as successful.
It's been emotional and stressful, and most of all difficult to hold myself together and not shed any of my anxiousness/stress/frustration on him.
The good part of this all, and yes, there is good stuff. He is fine after he settles down and is as happy as a clam afterschool with all his friends on the playground . It's as if nothing occurered in the a.m. and he's his happy go lucky self.
I love him to bits, but good god I need to get my hair done after this - the grey's are popping up everywhere!!!
Hang in there Girl. I know it is wearing on you. Maybe you should switch to expresso than your typical java cup. More caffine
