Out to Lunch

About 9:30 or so yesterday morning, the Intervention Specialist called to let me know that Jack couldn't find his lunch box, and he was upset about it. She wanted to know if I should have him buy, or could I bring him a new lunch? Since I wasn't at home when she called, and I had just checked his account and knew he had enough for one lunch, I suggested he buy. (Is that wrong of me?) About a half hour or so later, the school secretary called, and said that nobody could find the lunch.. not even anyone at the bus depot, who had checked the bus and found nothing. Clearly this was not how Jack's first day needed to go.

When he got home, guess what he was carrying? The lunch box. "Oh, it was under the seat". Wow, so I guess nobody checks under the seat these days? LOL What if a kid went missing and took a nap under the seat? I mean you hear about stories of little kids who never make it home from school.. Sigh. The report from school was pretty good, though. Despite the lunch bag incident, my little Jack seemed to be making friends. No real behavior issues, either. They also told me they thought he was a good fit for the school. :) That said, it was only the first day.

What I did like was that one boy he met (who I'm betting also has Autism, or perhaps Asperger's), told Jack that he had an "alarm" for when a show was getting too violent. He also said that he had a "Worry Journal", and that he thought Spongebob Squarepants was the least appropriate show on Nick. HAHA Well, I don't know about the Spongebob comment, but other than that, I think I might like Jack's new friend.
