What did you like about today? Nothing.

Things went as expected, not better, not worse.  Anna has convinced Anders to give it a try again on day 2.  One of his teachers, Ms. Michelle, said Anders was looking at his watch all day.  He pushed some buttons on it so that it read "7" rather than the time.  Anders liked his turkey sandwich, carrots, and cinnamon sticks, but did not like his orange or sour apple sauce.  He also did not partake of the petting zoo.  Anders took a short 50 minute nap.  We we arrived to pick him up, I scooped Anders up in my arms.  Through his tears and the circles under his eyes, he told me about the malfunctioning watch, then he told me that the number 8 was missing from the floor.  Indeed, the number 7 and 9 were written in tape on the floor, but 8 was missing. 
Anna commented that everything seemed much more crisp and organized on our return trip this afternoon.  I agree with that assessment. 
We took Anders to McDonald's for ice cream after "school," and then I took him to the pool.  These events made the unpleasantness of school only one part of his day.  
I am interested to see how tomorrow morning goes.
