息子①小学校入学から2週間あまり、毎朝私か夫が校門まで送って行っている。
(一人で行きたくないと言う)
そこから別れるのに一苦労。

昨日は靴箱の所まで着いて行き、同級生の友達がすっ飛んで迎えに来てくれたのを見てホっとした。
じゃあね、と手を振って校門を出たら後ろから大声で泣く声が、、、。
振り向いたら息子が号泣しながら追いかけてくる。
何ごとっっ!?とビックリしたのは私と周りにいた子供たち。
顔をぐちゃぐちゃにして泣く彼を、ようやっとなだめて見送った。

今朝は夫。
息子と出かけたまま帰って来ない。
案の定お別れに手こずり、片手を担任教師、反対側の手を夫が握って教室までエスコートして来たのだそうだ

「小学校は楽しいよ!」と言いきかせつつ、あんまり説得力ないなーと自分で思う。
だってついこの前まで保育園でものすごーく楽しい毎日を送っていたんだもの。
どうしてそんな居心地のいい場所を離れて、見知らぬ環境でがんばらなければいけないんだろう、、、って、6才の彼には納得がいかないのだ。
「イヤなこともやらなきゃいけない時もあるんだ」という夫の言葉も、息子の年齢にはまだ早いような気が。。。

明日は笑顔で行ってくれるかなー。(きっと無理

上履きとバッグ、息子が楽しい気持ちになるように心こめて描いたよ。


One of us walks with our son to school every morning, though it's been more than 2 weeks since he started going there.
He doesn't want to go by himself.
Then hardest part comes.

Yesterday, I went to a shoe box with my son and was relieved to see some of his friends happily run up to him.
「See you!」I said, then started to walk toward a gate.
I heard a cry from behind me.
It was my son wailing and running to me.
The other kids and I were surprised by it.
I soothed him somehow and said goodbye again.

It was my husband's turn this morning.
As I expected, they took long time to say their goodbyes at school.
So,his teacher held one of my son's hands and my husband held the other.
Then they escorted him to the classroom.

I tell my son that school is fun,but I know it's not persuasive.
Because he was having a so much fun at his preschool till just a month ago.
He might be wondering ,
‘Why did I have to leave that comfortable place and be thrown into totally different environment? ’

I want to see him smiling when we say goodbye tomorrow morning. (Maybe he can't yet)

I hope these shoes and bag that I painted will make him happy.
