On Thursday, Weston's class (along with another 3k class) had a family picnic at school. We were all very excited to go to his school and meet all of his other classmates. He loves school and talks about his friends all of the time. So, this was a great opportunity to put all of the names with faces. It was going to be wonderful!
On the day of the picnic, the parents and other family members were instructed to meet the class at a playground in the back of the school. When we arrived, the kids were not there yet, so we had a chance to spread out our blankets and and get comfortable. When the class finally arrived, we could hear Weston shouting, "Nana and Papa....look at my friends!!!!" When he came inside the playground gate, he walked past us and quickly said he was going to eat with his friends!! The rascal snubbed us!!! I followed after him to tell him he was supposed to eat with us, and he RAN AWAY FROM ME!!!! He ran to his teacher and asked her if he could just sit with his friends. Yes, while every other child was happy and excited to see their family, ours was disappointed he couldn't eat with his friends. He finally sat down with us and ate his lunch, but he wasn't happy about it. We had all been looking forward to this picnic, so I was a bit surprised at how Weston reacted. Ok, maybe I'm not surprised...it is not completely out of character for Weston to go against the grain!! I guess I'm just disappointed he didn't greet us with excitement, hugs, and kisses. Oh well! Even after being snubbed, we were all still thankful for the opportunity to spend time with him at school. We love him dearly...bad attitude and all! We'll give it another try at the Thanksgiving party:)
Look at Weston...you can see he really wants to mingle!
still checking out all of his friends
After we ate, the children played on the playground. They never use this playground, so they were all excited it had swings.
