Third Day of School

I guess I never did get around to posting about day one....oops! He did great, go on the bus no problem and didn't even turn around to wave goodbye! Today was his third day of school though. And also the day that James had to head back to New York for work. Riley knew that James had to leave today, and he wouldn't be here when he got home from school. James told him that he would come have lunch with him at school, so he did. Then he went to recess with him (they invite parents to join the kids for lunch and recess if they would like to). His teacher had to pry Riley off James leg when he went to leave and James told me that Riley was yelling 'Don't leave Daddy' while he walked away. The teacher said he cried for about 10 minutes after that, then they were able to get him calmed down. Around 1:30 (about 2 hours after James left) I get a phone call. Riley wanted to call me. The teacher said he had been fine since that 10 minute cry, but when Riley was on the phone he said he wanted to go home :( We ended up picking him up so he could take daddy to the airport and say goodbye again. James was supposed to call on his layover but must not have had time to do it since we didn't get a call. Riley also got his first set of homework today. And promptly got very upset with me that I wouldn't let him do it on his bed, and that he had to wait to do his homework til I could tell him what he needed to do. *Sigh* At least he WANTS to do it, lol
