Part 3: Evan is Off at His First Day of 4K! September 6, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — ellauren16 @ 6:54 pm

Continued…and then it was time to load up and get Evan to 4K!   There were many moms crying when we walked up because we were one of the last ones to get there.  The kids were in their line by class and were heading in.  We ended up having to go in because I had to take Evan’s booster seat in since Rick will be picking Evan up everyday.  We’ll have to get something figured out because I don’t really want to unload 4 kids and then have to re-load 3 every day…especially in the winter!   Maybe we’ll get a 2nd booster seat that can be kept in dad’s car.    We found the classroom and Evan put a sticker book in his backpack so he has something to do at dad’s school (dad will have to go back to school with Evan most days to finish up and get ready for the next day).  We turned in his computer headphones and Evan headed over to the carpet to join the rest of the kids who were waiting oh so patiently and quietly.  I am not kidding about that part…however, the teacher in me knows that this is they honeymoon period and that doesn’t last long.   The teacher reminded me of that.    She said that was how the morning class started out and by the end she had a child crying, a child biting, and she hadn’t had time to eat lunch because she was busy cleaning up and preparing for round two…maybe I don’t miss teaching all that much, especially the craziness of the first day.  There were fun things though!   I then had to round up Landyn who had made his way over to the toys.  He was ready to stay.  We went and paid for his milk for the year and we were off again.   On the way to the car Jonah started crying.  I think he must have had a fun day at school because he wanted to stay at Evan’s school.  I think it was partly that and partly that he was hungry and getting tired since I had to wake them up this morning.    We got home and got Jonah some lunch and I finally got the baby down for a nap.   Jonah and Landyn went right down…in fact, this might be the first nap time in a long time that I haven’t heard a peep from upstairs!  They must be tired from waking up early and Jonah from his big day.   Maybe mom should get in a nap too before Elijah’s bus arrives an hour from now!!    These days are going to go fast.

Enjoy the pictures of Evan- he is so shy at first, but I am so proud of how him and how much he loves school and how he knows it will be fun and that we’ll be together soon in a few hours. :)   I am going to miss having someone here in the afternoon that I can actually have conversations with!

 

Part 2: Elijah is Off to School…Early Childhood That Is! September 6, 2011

Here we are again- those couple hours sure went fast!   We ate lunch and got cleaned up and were ready to see Jonah come home and Elijah get on the bus.  We all went outside and sat…thankfully it  is a beautiful day because I thought we might have to wait about 5-10 minutes depending on if the bus was on time or not.  Well it certainly wasn’t.  We waited a good 30 minutes- the bus was at least 25 minutes late!  That was a bummer because I thought I would have had time to get Jonah lunch before we had to leave to take Evan to school and now we wouldn’t.   I also wanted to swing back to Elijah’s school and see that he got there safe and get a picture of him like I did of Jonah but we wouldn’t have time or Evan would be late.   Plans don’t always go the way you want them to, but at least I can say it wasn’t because of me- we were ready and on top of things here!    So we made the switch- Jonah got off (didn’t want to, so he must have liked the bus….see mom, I told you not to worry) and Elijah got on.   Off he went….to be continued!  Enjoy the pictures of Mr. Elijah and his first day of school!  I am sure he will do great! :)

Jonah is off to School….Early Childhood that is! September 6, 2011

Filed under: Uncategorized — ellauren16 @ 3:28 pm

Here is the first of a few posts today!   Rick is off for his first day and so is Jonah!   He got on the bus this morning for his first day of Early Childhood!   I didn’t think I would get teary-eyed, but I did.   I also can’t believe I had all of the other kids and myself ready to go and we headed to his school to wait for the bus.  We saw him get off the bus- he seemed happy!  He has a great bus driver who is so good with the kids.  He got a little bus buddy (beanie baby) to hold while on the drive.  There are 9 kids in his class.  He will be going in the morning and Elijah will be going in the afternoon- so when Jonah gets off the bus, Elijah will be getting on.  Yes, that means two lunch times!  Crazy, I know.   Today is especially busy.  We will drive to see Elijah get off the bus too and then take Evan to his school for his first day of 4K.  For now, here are the pictures of my little Jonah and his first big day!!   More to come! :)
