Open House

Tyler had his open house to meet his new teacher yesterday. He was very excited to carry his school supplies in. When he got there he was very quiet. We went over and made his place mat that he would have snack off everyday. His teacher, Mrs. Obernessor, asked him about the different pictures and Tyler answered in a very quiet voice. Then we went and explored the room. He really liked that they had a lot of airplanes and helicopters. He didn't want to stop playing, but he also had his fingers in his mouth (a sign that he is nervous and overwhelmed). He knows some of the kids in his class so he said hi to them but mostly stayed by himself. By the time we left he still wouldn't speak to his teachers, but is very excited to come back.

That night when Tyler was telling Justin all about the open house Carter got very sad. When we asked Carter what was wrong he said he was going to miss Tyler when he was at school and then he started crying. So sweet! Tyler gave him a hug and told him he would miss him too. Tyler and Justin then left to get supplies to decorate Tyler's bucket that he will use as a backpack. It took Carter a while to come around but we eventually had a fun night of games, puzzles, and a popscile. Carter really felt better when Tyler came back with a special toy just for Carter. I can't get over how much I love seeing how good of friends they are.
