I feel so bad for him

Today was Bman's one and only preschool field trip. The class went to a dairy farm. I had been hoping to go with him however, it wasn't meant to be. It seems that they wouldn't allow siblings to go along even with a parent present. Ok, fine I can respect that, however every child except for mine and one other, whose mother works, had a parent with them on it.

Unfortunately, I had no one to watch Tink and since daddy is 2 hours away this week, he couldn't attend either.

I cried the entire way home cause I felt bad for him for not having me there and also because it seems that he isn't treated fairly in preschool either. Maybe it's just a mommy thing but I felt he wasn't acknowledged when he walked into the classroom like other kids were.

Bman has a speech issue, one that we are working with him on not only at home but with speech teachers through our intermediate unit for our local schools. He is a very smart boy but he has problems forming the words to say what he means. He does have sounds for words, like moo is cow and baa is sheep, etc.

Today after making sure all the students were in attendence, and before leavin for the farm, they sang their song that has to do with how many days are in a week and he tried to sing along. I couldn't see his mouth but I could tell he was trying. It made me want to stand and cry. I'm so proud of my little boy and what he attempts.
