School

This last week the boys started school. Jacob started 2nd grade and Evan Kindergarten. It has been an exciting and tiring week. Jacob did awesome! No tears. Last year if you remember, he struggled BIG TIME! with going to a new school. {we wont mention me} I have definitely seen a huge change in him. He has learned to be strong in scary situations. We are very proud of him. Evan on the other hand, didn't want to go. When he was getting dressed the first day he looked at me and said: " but mom, I'm not ready to grow up!" My first thought was, "I'm not ready for you to grow up either!" I have learned that you just can't think about it too much. If you do, then you turn into a big mess. I felt strongly that he would love it and soon as it figured out what was going on. Sure enough, all week he was up and ready to go. A huge plus is his ride home on the bus. Since the school is right in our neighborhood they don't bus the kids, except for the kindergartners, lucky dogs. So he gets to ride the bus home. His smiling face is always looking out the window when he gets dropped off. It's nice to have the first week of school over.
