Last Night

For the past several weeks, S has been hesitant to go to sleep herself in her own bed. It is a result of the thunderstorm that woke her up. Her teacher commented that she heard a sound on the playground the other day and asked if it was thunder. I explained that she was never afraid before this storm that woke her up. I guess she thinks she's a drama queen since she wasn't afraid before. I heard from another mom in her class today. Apparently I'm not the only one who has been unhappy with what goes on. I don't know why they decided to take on the violent child and ruin it for the other children. I just found out he is just turning 4, he should have been in a different class. I am very disappointed that a church group would take on kids just for the money. I can't guarantee this is the case, but if there was no room in the lower classes, the younger children should have been turned away. Most of the children in that class are already 5 and have been for a long time. All of the children were subjected to violence and filthy language, for what? Anyway, back to last night. I told S I would be back to check on her and she said, "I don't want to be away from you." Then she said, "I need you." All of this was after she had the worst behaved day of her life. Was she dealing with these feelings and trying to deny them? I just don't know, but I was thrilled to hear those words.
