Juma did better on his second day of school. He cried for only a couple minutes, and didn't have an accident in his pants this time.
His feelings are a bit back-and-forth about it. He especially enjoys having a lunch box, a basketball-shaped ice pack, and a nalgene bottle for his milk. It makes him feel like a big boy to carry a lunch box around (see picture below). He's also happy about riding the bike down to school (he sits on the back of one of our bikes in a child seat), but when it's time to say goodbye to Mama or Baba, school is suddenly too scary. And I don't blame him; we did leave him with almost complete strangers on the first day. (We had visited the school before.)
Maybe tomorrow's school day will warm him up to it--they're having pizza for lunch. After that, Juma will have a week-and-a-half off, then start up 5-day school.
