Week 2 Begins

Today, school began "for real." Avery Claire started week 2 of her school. Dusty had a football staff meeting at 6:30 and got home at 8:00 tonight. I had morning duty at 7:30. That meant we had to leave by 7:00. We left by 7:05 cut it close.
 

 

Today was a great day for me. I'm amazed at the difference in being in the library and being in the classroom. There is so much to do in the library - seriously, I'm amazed at all there is to do. But...it's so different from having a gazillion things to do while having 20 kids in the room with you all day and only 30 minutes of free time.

Dusty came home at 8:00 tonight {just in case you missed that time earlier}, worn out after practice.

Avery Claire has adjusted to nap time very well. She had to have her back patted a couple of times while she fell asleep last week. One day I asked her if somebody had to pat her back when she went to sleep. She said, "Ummmm. No. She patted my hiney." We encouraged her to be a big girl and go to sleep like she does at home, and she has. I know poor Ms. Laura needs nap time!!

And.....drum roll...... after a week at school, Avery Claire is almost potty-trained. I'll save that info for its own post.

Although it's a little too much like real school, I do love getting this daily report home from Ms. Laura.

 

And there is nothing like talking with Avery Claire about her day after school. Today, she had a painting of her hand she'd done at school. {And blue paint on her pencil shirt.} And when I asked her if Ms. Laura read her a story, she told me it was about trees and grass and water.

If every day goes as well as today, we're going to have a great school year! And a very tired Daddy!
