School days
Oh so I realize it is the middle of October okay well towards late October and I have been terrible neglectful of this site…I promise things are starting to become routine now and I am so thankful. This transition into working mom took quite a while to get down. You know its funny how with just JJ I was so together and I mean it my house was clean shopping was done ect….but when you got em in school its TOTALLY DIFFERENT! All of a sudden your suposed to be super mom with homework, classroom help, and all the rest that comes with it…I was struggling just to get the dishes done. I have seriously got the 20 minute lunchtime shopping trip down to a T…and the okay lets thaw out some chicken breasts for dinner and nuke em….rice a roni and we’re almost a square meal right? oh okay we will have veggies tomorrow kids I promise…and fruit for breakfast isnt that okay?? well probably not considering the snotty noses we have had for the last two weeks….I promise to try harder….of course daddy has it all down when he cooks….but thats another story…
JJ’s school pictures were SO HORRIBLE! he looked like a strucken deer with the wide eyes and the plastered fake smile….but still to me he is my sweet baby boy. He is learning to read a little better, I just cant push him at all or he will get angry and his teacher doesnt want that at all its supposed to be FUN….yeah so we read till its no longer fun about….9 minutes….we are working on it…we are supposed to read at least 15 what am I supposed to do? Right now we quit when he gets frustrated. He is enjoying his school year and the program he did last friday was amazing. I cant even believe the things he is studying in science! and they put it all to music and movement so the kids dont even realize they are learning and its something they will never forget being that it is to a rythm. I remember the collors of the spectrom that I learned to a song in Kindergarten and we all know how old I am…its amazing what they are teaching these kids. JJ is having some trouble with his Gross motor skills, I think it is just because he is such a big boy…his mucsles are not really developed for such a huge kid of just 7 for gosh sakes he weighs 78 POUNDS! He is just a big bulky kid that doesnt have the coordination for his huge size!
Diva on the other hand is loving preshcool…. tonight we asked her “whos ready for biscuits and gravy? she raises both hands and says “I DO I DO I DO I DO!!!!!! want seems to be the key word and she raises her hands to do the preshcool dance of I DO I DO I DO!!!” Picture Elmo….
School days here I cant believe I have two such different kids….so much fun…love it.. really I do…
