Week in review

We made it through the first week of school!  The boys did great!  I have to get a picture...every morning Christian walks Ayden to the back of the school (where his classroom is) holding hands.  When school gets out they are walking holding hands to the car.  Its about the cutest thing I've ever seen.  I told them to hold hands because I was afraid that Ayden would walk through the crosswalk without stopping.  They really seemed to get the routine down in the first week.

I got a phone call from Ayden's teacher this afternoon.  She wanted to give us an update and let us know how the first week went.  She said that Ayden did great and is picking up the routine rather quickly.  She said that he's a little "handsy" meaning that he and the other boys can't keep their hands off one-another.  That doesn't surprise me :)  She was very understanding about it and said its completely normal for the boys and they they will work on that during the school year.  I asked her about nap time.  She said that some days he slept and some days he didn't but when he didn't he laid quietly on his mat.  That was great news!  I was truly concerned about how nap time would go and I was especially pleased that he slept even if it was only a day or two.

Christian's teacher seems great and I am looking forward to this year.  I think he will do great.

Cub Scouts started up again on Monday.  Christian loves scouts and since he's not particularly into sports at least he has an interest in scouting.  Dominic promised to be more involved this year and is hoping to have Christian's troop over to build tool boxes to help them earn a badge.  The popcorn fundraiser starts next month again.  We did great last year and still have some extra money to update his uniform for this year.

Mason and I had a great week together at home while the boys were at school.  We went shopping one day which worked out great.  Mason took almost 3 hour naps all week!  How wonderful that was!  I even had some time to read a book!  Its been a very long time since I've been able to read.

I'm anxious about this coming week and excited to see how it goes.
