I go to his class, "how was he today?" His lead teacher "Wow, he is a busy boy!" Hmmm. Well
folks, I have an elementary ed degree and have taught before and I know what that means. HE WAS A STINKER! We went in to hit the potty before we ran a couple errands and he told me that the teacher had to tell him no during snack time, who knows what he was doing. We ran into his other teacher in the bathroom and she said "he is nothing like his sister!" Um, yeah. But then she added "he's just too darn cute, though!" That's right T. Hook 'em with your charm and long eyelashes and maybe they'll forget the fact that YOU ARE A STINKER!
He's handsome, he's potty-trained, he can count to 14- and he's off to school!
And yes, that is the end of my day-to-day school photo collages.
It felt so wonderful without kids today! I was so domestic- I came home and vacuumed, mopped the floors, cleaned the kitchen, started some chicken marinating, made a key lime pie, and shopped for some school clothes. Maybe the key to me being a better stay-at-home-mom is...not having my kids at home! :)
A stinker?? No way! :) And yes, he is so darned handsome that there is no way he'll be on any teacher's bad side. We have the that same shirt from Gymboree, cute! You are absolutely right about being a better stay at home mom by not having your kids at home (I know you're only half way kidding) but a nice break like that really recharges your batteries, doesn't it? Both of my boys will be in KDO this fall and I'm totally looking forward to my very own 3.5 hours of ME time each week. Bliss. Selfish?
ReplyDeleteCan you come to my house and do all that for me? My friday afternoons are going to be ALL ME time! (as long as B naps like normal)
