The last few weeks, James has been happy to attend church, and there have been no issues at drop off. We had been told by some of the adult helpers that James would calm down within thirty seconds of us dropping him off, but even so, it makes you feel guilty leaving your child like that.
I am thrilled to see James excited about church again. It was just so weird to me that he started not liking church all of a sudden. Other parents I have talked with said their children went through phases like that as well at this age. That makes me feel a little better. I am still not sure what exactly evokes James' reaction to church, but I am happy he has settled back into attending church again.
I dread June because of the classroom promotions. I have a strong feeling we will have at least a few weeks of resisting church again due to not handling transitions well. It doesn't help that James has spent a year in his current classroom, so the new classroom will be a pretty big change. James is a trooper, though, so I know we will get through these changes as well, and I am a little more prepared that these changes may cause issues, so I will try to work on ways to make the transition easier.
