First day of School

I feel like I could just cry. I uploaded this picture last week, and was waiting to write about school after we saw how the first week went. Here is Weston all ready for his first day of school. This was taken a week ago today at "meet the teacher night." He wasn't shy a bit. He bravely introduced himself and couldn't wait for school to start. Fast forward that night to today. 5 days of school, countless tears, loss of appetite, calls home from the office, 2 missed days and numerous unsuccessful bribes... I still don't know what to do with this little guy. He is just devastated and as anxious as a 5 year old could possibly be. He does NOT want to go to school!
After talking to the principle today as well as checking out another school in our district that offers half day...I still don't know what to do. I feel like maybe he really just isn't ready this year. His birthday is only a few weeks after the deadline. I know he would feel more confident next year and that is probably best. However, he is driving me CRAZY! By about 9am he is already bored and I am annoyed that he is here for another 5 hours. I feel like a horrible mother at this point...
Ahhhh, hopefully I will figure out what is best for both of us.

By the way Weston, when you are old enough to read this. I sure love you.

Here are the other cuties at meet the teacher night.
