C-Biggity is in grade 1 this year and is loving it. I was a bit nervous about how he would make the transition from half days to full days, as he does love his play time at home, but he seems to have had no issue with it. There are times when you can tell he'd rather just be at home playing, but he does really enjoy school. We have had his first parent-teacher interviews and were very happy to hear that he is doing well, trying his best, improving on his printing, and getting along well with his classmates.
First day of school pictures
Our first morning back to school sadly did not go quite as well as I'd hoped. While C was getting dressed, his brother took it upon himself to erase the sign I had made, resulting in tears, an annoyed mommy, which resulted in more tears, a then very guilty-feeling mommy, and no time to take pictures. Fortunately, the day got better and C still had a great first day at school. And I learned an important lesson; that getting the perfect picture is not what it's all about! And we did get our pictures when he came home!
Z-Diggity is in Jr. Kindergarten this year. He could have gone to kindergarten, but we decided, after the struggles he had last year, to give him another year of jr. kindergarten, with some extra support. We also moved him to a different school. So far, we are feeling like this school is a much better fit for him. We appreciate the increased communication from his teacher, the smaller, cozier class, and the teacher's understanding and support for children with special needs. Z still says that he hates school and has a very difficult time separating from me when it is time to go, but according to everyone else's report, he is adjusting well and is having fun while he is there. He is developing a great relationship with his aide and she seems to be excellent at drawing him out! He is also starting to interact with his classmates, which is a huge step for him!
And of course, he is as cute as ever! Excuse the pillows in the background, we were getting ready to go out to the trailer! :)
Both boys have a lot of fun activities coming up and I am really looking forward to watching them learn and develop this year! As for the littlest, I need to find him some "school" as well, because he is feeling quite left out! He likes to take his backpack when we go to Z's school, and says we need to go to his school too! But I'm not ready to have all my babies out of the house yet!
