First day down

Adison finished her first day of first grade. Here was our conversation about it when I picked her up:

ad: mom, my day was awesome, I loved it
me: really? that is great, what did you do?
ad: we got in, but our bags away, had a snack then we went to lunch, then we got another snack me: *puzzled look*
me: so basically you ate all day?
ad: no, we also read a book.

so it's a success right? ugh. I went downhill from there. She had a major meltdown. I don't know if all the snacking *haha* over stimulated her or what. She had some grapes left in her backpack (amazing after all the snacking) so I put them in the fridge where Sammy promptly reopened the fridge and grabbed them. Adison LOST IT. Those were HER grapes. Even after constant reassuing that there were more grapes she could not pull it together. She stormed off to her bedroom crying. After a few minutes I went in to talk to her and it was just a tired little girl crying about EVERYTHING. Her day is too long, the bus ride is too long, she doesn't want to do homework etc. After she had calmed down and came out for dinner she lost it again when she turned on the tv before doing her homework. I turned it off and said that our rule is no tv until the homework is done. BACK TO CRYING and stomping to her bedroom. MAN. What a night. She did finally pull it back together and finished the homework in time to play a few games with Sam before bed. This morning wasn't the smootest either. She had major attitude, but admittedly, so did I. :) So she was off on the bus this morning and I hope today goes more smoothly...atleast the aftermath.
