The class lists came out yesterday and younger son has been separated from the two friends with whom he spent most of the summer having play dates. Last night he was very upset, didn't want to go sleep, didn't want to start school, and wanted to quit his soccer team. In other words, his disappointment, his fear, his sadness and anger are spreading to all of his activities. There are only two classes, so it was a 50-50 chance that he would be in a different classroom but to be separated from both friends is a blow. He has other friends, though not the BFF variety, and seems to get along with most of his classmates, so I am putting the positive spin on things and trying to be strong. He doesn't know how upset I am too. But I worry that in not showing I am upset about this thing that is hurting him, he won't be able to express his sadness. Heavy sigh.
We went to the beach today for an end-of-summer day of fun. Now to get the backpacks and lunchboxes at the ready for tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Good luck! We're having a kindergarten reunion/playdate on Sunday. He'll get to see a lot of the kids he's been missing. He wants so badly for his BFF to be in his class, but there are four first grades. There's only a 25% chance of it.
love and luck, dear ones!
