Trying hard

Yesterday was a quiet day at school and later I took my son to his dance lessons (he said he liked to dance and I can see he likes music) so I though it would be nice to have some lessons but once we were there he didn't want to dance...well patience, there is nothing I can do, I hope he changes his mind next week.
At least we are trying to find some activities extra school where he can find other children and maybe get to know some one who could play with him.
...
Om Friday we will start Soccer Development...after school...we'll see how that goes...I hope he does well, although I must say I haven't seen him very interested in soccer yet.
Everything to try to get a normal life here, I pray every day for him to find a little friend who could come and play with him at home.
I don't think I'm asking too much..am I?

Our first day (second part)

I just returned from school, I left my son at the after school club (only for two hours) as he said he wasn't tired...I saw him alright, he got two stars for being a good boy today at school..so overall it hasn't being a bad day for us. On my way to school I saw this mother from my son's class, she was struggling trying to carry two scooters one on each hand..she saw me turning the corner but didn't stop or look again to say hi...however; I run after her and offered her my help to carry one of the scooters (am I too desperate?) she accepted and we walked together towards the school, I tried to make conversation about the weekend, honestly wasn't expecting much..but she ended up giving me every detail of what she was up to...(didn't ask about me though!)..never mind at least we had a chat and I hope she realized I can speak English. As soon as we arrived to school she left to chat with her friends and I stand alone waiting for my son. One step each day.... I saw my little one quite exited about his school today (at least one of us still is..)

OUR FIRST DAY FROM 9 TO 15:30

This is our first complete day at school. I was really nervous because this is the first time in almost two years that I'll be away from him for so long!...
I'm worried about his lunch, as they asked us to give them packed lunches all this term. I'm thinking about new ideas for preparing his lunch, as I'm sure sandwiches wont be a good option for long time.
This morning we arrived on time, my son went running where his classmates were playing but as always ended up playing on his own (I thank God it seems he doesn't really care about not being accepted for them)
One of the parents said hello and mentioned if I knew Jack (one of the children) as he had to thank his mum for the invitation for his birthday that she sent (another one that we didn't get) I wonder why parents are so mean (I understand children might act just naturally, not knowing really how cruel they can be) but parents...honestly if i would be having a birthday party for my son and send some invites to the school, I would send them to all the children...mostly because I think that shows politeness and good manners.
But...this is the second party we haven't being invited...school sucks!
