Jonah Starts School
Jonah started school and it was not a great start. Before the first day, we talked about school for a week and he seemed excited. He'd run around the house with his spiderman backpack and even Jadyn's girlie backpack. On the first day, we get there he's walking with his back pack on his back. One step in the classroom, he turns right around and tries to escape out the door. Holding Cara, I blocked him with my leg and then he starts screaming and crying. The teacher grabs him and she mouths to me, "just go!" I was like okay and I hesitated but I just ran out and I could hear him screaming "mommy". As I was driving out of the parking lot, I regretted signing him up and felt that he may be too young to start school. I was running errands with one child and it was so nice. I had a good one one one time with Cara and I decided Jonah will just have to deal. I know so selfish. The next few times he'd kick and push his backpack away and say, "no School!" and pout. It was quite cute but tearing him away from the car seat and him screaming through the parking lot was not fun. But once he got to the door, he'd walk right in to see the live turtle they got after the first day (genius). Now, he likes going. He doesn't cry anymore. And he'll come home and open his bag and share all the things he did at school. It is so cute. And I am enjoying spending those 2 hours with Cara. Can't imagine the freedom I'll feel when all the kids are in elementary school... I know, it'll be here in a blink of an eye...

the turtle IS genius! any live animal really... but turtles are pretty low maintenance. i can't believe Jonah is already going to school. preschool? ESK isn't quite at the point yet where she talks about her day. so cute!
