Our first day of school was last Wednesday! We had early bedtime, bags packed, clothes laid out, new shoes ready, a nutritious breakfast...the whole works! Joey is starting 2nd grade and Maddox is starting kindergarten!! We were all just a little nervous for Maddox! He played it pretty cool as we were getting ready but did tell us he was nervous a couple times.
When we got to school though, I could tell the nerves really started kicking in. He said his stomach really hurt. We got to the classroom and there were 3 kids who were babbling, crying messes...and I was hoping that wouldn't rub off on him! He did really well up until we were just about to leave...and then he had some tears. Luckily, 45 seconds later, his teacher texted me a picture of his big ol' smile and said he was doing absolutely great! Day 2 went okay but he wasn't thrilled....Day 3 was not great in the morning but he got out of school very happy! He told me yesterday was his best day of school yet so I think we're getting there!
Joey did as Joey does....went to school without a problem and took it all in stride. He was excited to play football at recess again, he likes his new teacher, he has a couple of friends in his class, he said Bella talks all the time, he said some kids think football at recess is like the Superbowl and he informed them it's "just a game" (uh huh), and he still loves PE. Nothing new with this one.
It's nice having them both in the same school this year...and no preschool either! It seems very weird on Fridays when I'm home with Saylor all alone and the boys are in school. It's a little lonely and a lot quiet! But, I better enjoy it because next year, Saylor will be starting preschool!
