Well Carter was feeling much better yesterday so we started his first day with some school work, but he was having a bit of trouble concentrating. When he started asking questions about school I realized we needed to sit and talk about it a little more before we left. If you didn't know Carter is going to the same public school as Lacey on Monday's, Wednesday's and every other Friday to go to Music, PE, Lunch and Recess. And today was HIS first day there. When we got there we signed in at the office. As I was doing so, I noticed he had a petrified look on his face. I was worried more about him than Lacey because Lacey wanted to go to school and Carter does NOT. The first ten minutes for Carter was pretty rough for him, he started in PE and they all sat on the floor and Carter thought the teacher was going to ask him something he wouldn't know but he didn't and he was FINE. By the time I picked him up two hours later he had a huge smile on his face and said it was AWESOME and he made TWO NEW FRIENDS! I felt such relief. So you say to yourself, what did Mommy do with the first two school hours she has ever had to herself? I planed Carter's school work, for the next two weeks for him to do while I am gone in COSTA RICA!
Lacey's second day wasn't as great as the first. It started OK, she got to ride the bus to school while mom followed it. But when I picked her up after school (For her post op apt for her surgery which went good. They took out stitches and prescribed physical therapy hmmmm) she was very upset and said she had to tell me something. Uh oh, so we walked to the car and she tearfully told me she got scolded from the teacher (which is still a little unclear why, she doesn't know for sure) and then she started to cry in class which immensely embarrassed her even more. I believe it ended well in class and then she said she had trouble at recess too which she tried to work out very maturely. My Lacey was completely exhausted by the end of the day. (Do you notice the horse poo at the bus stop? NICE!)
Tonight I start the CR journey. I will spend the night at Carrie's because we leave bright and early to the airport Friday. I still have so much to do! Thank you to all who are helping Cory and the kids while I am away. Adios, Alice
