First Day, or I should say 1/2 day-o-school

Well today was the first half day at my work. I should explain that when I was hired I came in the first of January. So the kids last year were already in a routine and knew exactly what to do. I missed the "first day of school" and all the beginning stuff from last year.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

But, today I was hoping for the best!

11 Pre-K kids in my class. That means they are all 4 to 5 year olds who have NEVER been to school. EVER.

That definitely makes for a good day and there are always good stories.

Here's the first.

One little boy walks in with is Mommy and you could tell it could be a little rough. To my surprise he did just fine going to his desk and saying bye to Mommy.

Until it came time to go to the potty.

Every morning each child has to go to the potty just avoid any accidents. So he goes to the potty room and stands there. I ask if he needs any help; she shakes his head no. I ask if wants Mrs. L to help and he shakes his hand no again. Then he screams, "I want my Mommy!!!" Ohh dear! Mrs. L carefully explained to him that Mommy wasn't here and he could have our help or he could do it by himself.

That didn't work. Not one little bit.

So we had to send him to his desk. By mid-morning, the kids had drank a kool-aid drink and some water.By then, I'm sure that he was definitely needing to go, but he still refused.

I was definitely expecting him to go potty in his pants.

Luckily, that didn't happen.

I'm sure things didn't go well when Mommy picked him up.

Hopefully tomorrow he'll want to go in the big boy potty.

I really don't want to change potty in the pants just yet.

Happy Half Day-O-School Friends!

School Days

I cannot BELIEVE that the summer is already over!!!! Seriously, my summer has completely been packed full of stuff. Camp, summer school, mission trip SHEESH!

But now it's time to get back to reality.

Get back into some kind of schedule.

Though I'm SO sad that the summer is over, there is good news.

***I'll be closer to graduation.

***ABC is gearing up for new Grey's Anatomy, Dancing With The Stars, oh and a new show that I'm interested to see is My Generation.

***ABC Family is also airing a new show called Melissa and Joey. Melissa Joan Hart takes me back to Clarissa Explains It All. And as for Joey Lawrence, he was rockin' a tv show called Blossom and Brotherly Love. So I'm hoping this will be a good show!

***TONS of new movies are coming out! I'm very interested in Never Let Me Go and Conviction. Both based on true stories and very intense at the same time! Also Tangled looks like a cute movie. I'm always into sweet fairy tale movies. And of course the new Chronicles of Narnia! I love those movies and the books for that matter. OOOHH and Little Fockers. Both Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers was quite hilarious. I hope this is as good as the past two have been.

***Fall things; fall candles, fall clothes, fall weather, fall cooking, my birthday, getting closer to Christmas, and last but certainly not least College Football.

Back to school isn't so bad after all.

If there is one thing I'm pumped about is saying goodbye to this 100+ degree weather.

Happy Back-to-School Days!!!
