Vacation Bible School

So Tate went to Vacation Bible School today. He was excited...I was excited for him. It didn't go well. About 20 minutes after I dropped him off, the church called saying that he was having a "tough time" and was crying. The problem was, the message didn't come through on my phone until 2 hours later!!!! I felt SICK! I called right away and they said that he had calmed down, but was just spending one on one time with one of the teachers...apparently, he would "panic" when he was in the classroom with the big group of all the kids. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. I felt bad for the teachers and also for Tate. I just wished that I had known he was struggling and gotten the message right away so I could have immediately gone back to get him. He struggles with strangers and even people he knows, but doesn't see on a daily basis. I guess this was just too much for him. It breaks my heart to know that he was panicked and crying and I wasn't there to comfort him, but on the other hand, he will never learn to do well in those situations in he doesn't do them. I don't really know how to deal with that. He doesn't go to daycare and right now, until I get some money coming in with the photography business, we just can't spend the money on it when I am able to watch him at home. Even when he was little and would go to daycare, he never has done great at it. He would cry when I would leave him and say he didn't want to go...even when he had been going for a year straight. You'd think he would have gotten used to it after that long, but he never did. He'd have good days, but just as many bad days. Not sure if it's just his nature or what, but it is hard. I wish he did better in situations like that.
