big brother

Gus is three weeks into school, and is loving every minute of it. I wish I could record all that he says about school, so precious are his comments.

The best one to date:

Me: What did you do at school today? Did you have science?

Gus: No, we worked at centers.

Me: What's a center?

Gus: The Whales can go to centers and work on one side of the room, and the Dolphins can go to other centers. You can't go where the Dolphins are or you'll get in trouble. You have to sit in the thinking chair.

Me: Have you ever sat in the thinking chair?

Gus: No.

Me: Why not?

Gus: Because I don't get in trouble. I've never sat in the thinking chair....(pause) but I think!

(note: The class is split into two groups, and each student takes a turn being the 'leader' of their group. Gus is a Whale, and liked being the leader!)

Eli's first day of school


Eli's first day of school, originally uploaded by jannacybill.

This boy has finally had the chance to go to school. Let us all breathe a collective sigh of relief. John and Eli have had a lot of time together. Good times. Hard times. Times filled with potty training. With fighting over naps. With a month of Savannah behind him, and coming out of that month with no diapers in sight, he is now able to finally go to school and say, "Teacher, I need to go pee pee."

John took Eli this morning, as I thought it would be too hard (mostly for me) to see him go. Being a new place (and a center, not an in-home situation that he's been used to his whole life), and the worry of his reaction when we left kept me home. It was hard for John to leave, but in the end, I think our prep worked worked out. Every time we drove by, we would talk about Eli's new school, and we made two visits before today. When we picked him up, he was having such a good time...and added bonus, was wearing the same clothes we sent him in. Potty trained for reals, at 2 1/2.
