There has been a slight improvement in D since yesterday. The reason - he met someone on the bus! Someone who made him very comfortable. Another Indian boy named Ved. They have already become fast friends with Ved inviting D over for a play date. Yes, already!
I am so happy that he has struck up a friendship with someone. He has been taking names of his new classmates since day one but am not sure the types of alliances he has developed so far. But with Ved, it seems different. This morning, he looked forward to waiting for the bus with Ved and sharing the seat with him. No tantrum, no tears, no sadness. He kept mentioning how this new found friend lives in the same community as my in laws and how easy it will be for them to hook up.
Due to odd transportation hours, I have yet to drop D at the bus stop. I dropped him at school the first week but since past Monday, he has been taking the bus. The stop being close to my in-laws house. (Thank God! Thank God!) Hence, they have been escorting D to and fro from the stop. But with this new development, new friendship, I am thinking of reorganizing my work hours to be able to drop him off at least one day next week. Just to meet Ved, the friendly boy. I want to meet this sweet child who has made my boy’s life less stressful, who has brought a smile to his face and perhaps even changed his outlook toward school. Let’s hope I meet his parents too and who knows may be even organize a play date with this little angel in disguise.
Note to self: I just read what I wrote yesterday. This overnight transformation is just fantastic.I just hope it sustains! I hope there are more kids like Ved who make D's school experience an enjoyable one. I must meet Ved next week!
