More Tears; Clothing issues

Both kids seems to be more tearful these days and what prompts them is what is getting me. While most kids are crying because they don’t want to go to school, my kid is the one crying because she doesn’t want to LEAVE school. I picked Peyton up today, and instead of her getting up from circle time and running over to me as she usually does, she acknowledged me, then turned back around to the story. They were listening to a story about underwater animals. All her friends saw me, and they tapped her on the shoulder to tell her “Peyton, your mommy’s here!” She ignored them as she ignored me.  I went up to sit next to her, and she was concentrating on the story, watching the pictures.  There was half the book to go still!  I would have stayed, but I needed to get Brandon today, so I told her one more page.  After the jellyfish, I told her it was time to go.  She didn’t budge, so I grabbed her, at which time she started to cry.  She didn’t kick and fight, but she just cried and cried and cried.  She cried all the way out to the car.  In that time, I passed the vice principal.  She just looked at me, and I told her that Peyton didn’t want to leave school.  She said, “Well, I guess there’s worse things!”  Then we passed our old friend’s mom from FA, and she wondered what was going on.  I managed to get Peyton in the car, told her to buckle up, and shut the door. I told Kim what was going on, and she thought it was the cutest thing.  Emma and Brandon have known each other since Emma was a toddler and Brandon an infant.  Kim and I used to drop off at the same time, so it’s been a long time.  Peyton finally calmed down to ask for a tissue to blow her nose.  She was calm, and started asking for the Ride Riddles again.  When we almost got to Brandon’s school, she told me, “Misha’s a little bit kinda not so nice to me.”  I asked her why, and she said, “She’s not nice to me.” I asked her what she did or said, and Peyton told me, “She said she didn’t want to be my friend.”  I told her that wasn’t nice, but that she had many other friends, like Sydney and Orion.  Peyton said, “Yeah, and remember I told you she pushed me in the back and I fall down?”  I told Peyton she should tell Misha she doesn’t like it, and that if she didn’t stop, she should go tell the teacher.  Poor Peyton has to deal with girl drama.  Stuff like this didn’t happen when Brandon was her age.  Not that I remember anyway.

So the second half of the tears were from Brandon over clothing!  He told me this morning he didn’t want to wear jeans because he is going to get a red card. I asked him how he’d get a red card for wearing jeans and he told me it’s because they are not comfortable and he will get a red for moving around too much.  So, I dug through his pants and found some khakis.  They are softer, and we hadn’t been having him wear them because they were thinner and he was ripping holes in his knees.  Jeans seemed to be more durable, and they hide stains better.  He said he preferred shorts, but since it’s cooler in the morning, I was trying to convince him to wear the longer pants.  He blew up and started to cry.  He was throwing a fit.  About pants!  We started issuing sentences because he was not calming down.  I finally left him, since I wasn’t getting anywhere with him, and Dave ended up taking him to school.  This is the compromise I had with Dave, so that’s why I picked them both up this afternoon.  Brandon had written 20 sentences before leaving for school. Dave said he finally did put on the pants that I had picked out for him.  Being late to school was one threat that we used, which motivated him to write before getting a tardy slip.  In the end, he did earn a green card at school despite all the morning drama.

This evening, I told him when he finishes his sentences, he can go shopping with me for pants that we both agree on.  His problem is his waist is too narrow for the length of pants he needs.  I wish I had his problem!  He finished up 50 sentences before moving on to his homework tonight.  He is to finish up the other 40 before getting to do “fun” things on the weekend.  That includes swimming or going to hang out with Ian.  That will get him motivated to finish up.  My hope is he finishes it tomorrow, since we are going straight to his school.  I’ve reminded him that garden club is tomorrow.  He’s excited about that, too.
