Back to School...

8/18/10

Hunter started his first day of 3rd grade today.  He started the day by telling me how much he hated school and I reminded him that he would see his friends that he had not seen all summer.  When he got there he desk was stacked with 4-5 fairly large and very thick text books.  A bit overwhelming for mom but it didn't seem to phase him much.  He waved at other kids down the hall and put his book bag away immediately.  He went right to his desk.  When I left he had a smile on his face.

Hunter only had a half day of school and Paw Paw picked him up.  When I got home I asked him how his day was and he said it was GREAT!!!!  He told me about changing classed as group A or Group B but he doesn't know which group he is in yet.  He said he will get 2 grades from his homeroom teacher Mrs. Workman and 4 grades from his other teacher Ms. Worsley.  He also likes his assistant teacher Mrs. Criskmore. (Not sure if I spelled that right)  He seems to be really excited and settling right in to his routine well.

If only we can get him to go to bed and stop calling out for the next hour to find out where we are.  We tried to stick to a decent bedtime all summer and even most weekends hoping that it would help.  I can't move Toby into his crib in that room until Hunter stops acting out.  Hopefully we will gain control of the situation soon.

Promoted ...

8/9/10

Just a quick update.

Toby has officially been promoted to the 1year old class!  His teachers Ms. Jennie and Ms. LaDawn say he is adjusting well.  He cried when I left him this AM but hopefully that will change as he gets used to the new AM routine.  Ms Jennie said he stopped shortly after I left.

He is walking some but only a few steps at the time.  We continue to work on that at home and encourage him to walk rather than crawl.  He just gets where he wants to go so much faster by crawling that it is hard to get him to walk.
