Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)
- The first day of Pre K for Reagan and 3 year old preschool for Anderson. We were up well before the sun was up this morning (well, we aren’t really sure when the sun rises and no one bothered to look out of the window)
- Reagan going into her class without a problem-she has been so excited since we came to meet Ms. Stacy. Anderson on the other hand, didn’t want to walk in. Mom thought she was going to have to throw him in his class but after a stern speech from Mom, he said “bye Mom” and walked on in without a problem.
- Dad dropped off Graham and Campbell. They were 2 extremes-Campbel l didn’t care at all to see Dad leave while Graham wasn’t pleased at all. He threw himself at the door and kicked the door for a good five minutes while he was filling out some papers
- Mom did call and check on Graham later in the day and they said that he was on the playground and standing close to his teacher but he wasn’t upset
- Dad and Mom picking up Reagan and Anderson and celebrating their first day with McDonalds at Nonna and Pop’s house. Reagan told us everything about her first day and we have gotten a few bits and pieces out of Anderson
- A quick trip to the store with the big kids to pick out a snack for Graham and then picking the little ones up from school. Graham was sleeping happily on his mat and was delighted to have Reagan and Anderson wake him up. Then picking Campbell up a nd she started flapping her hands and kicking her feet when she saw the crew arrive.
- While we were picking up Campbell, her older teacher started talking to Graham and calling him “Chase” multiple times. She even said hi to Anderson and called him “Luke” (this happened on Tuesday too). Mom didn’t know what to do (and still doesn’t) so she just hurried everyone on out the door. Reagan was quick to point out the name calling when we got in the hallway. Mom will take any suggestions or she is afraid this will happen everyday for the rest of the year. Maybe she should buy Graham and shirt with his name on it.
- Mom also realizing while at school, that Dad had Campbell’s car seat in his car. So she improvised-Campbell rode in Graham’s seat, he rode in Reagan’s and she rode in the middle. Mom drove very slowly home in the middle of a monsoon. The rain was crazy-sloshing on both sides of the car, Campbell was crying because she was hungry and the rest of us had to yell at each other to talk because of the rain and water. We did make it home in one piece!
- Playing all afternoon long-lots of trains, stories, toys and even having to work on the den carpet because of the water outside. Campbell stayed up for a long while and then finally took her nap.
- Anderson telling Mom that he wanted Mom to stay at school with her all day because he loves her and she is the best Mom ever (that is all true but she can’t stay)
- Dad coming home and supper for all. Afterwards, more reading and playing with some flying toys before going to bed. Reagan and Anderson must have been tired because they never called Mom and Dad up (usually they do about 3 times)
