This is Aidan and his first grade teacher Mrs. Lunceford a week before school started. Our school does an assessment before school starts so the teachers know where all the kids are at before they start school. I love that! Anyway, Mrs. Lunceford would ask Aidan to write different words and after each word, Aidan had a story to tell. I'm thinking, "We are never going to get through this because Aidan talks so much!!!" At one point I told Aidan, "Please write the word!! Focus!!!" Aidan is a lot like his sister Kalli in that they really enjoy talking! Aidan is really enjoying first grade but it is quite an adjustment to go from half-day to school to all day school. He comes home really tired and every little thing sets him off crying and screaming. I am trying to be patient with him because I know he is just getting used to things and it is hard. I am glad that he is enjoying school and he is enjoying eating hot lunch every day at school. It has been fun to just have two at home. Aaron is having fun ruling the roost for once. Now if I can just get him to stop pushing Ammon over when Ammon is practicing his walking.....

Hi Kari, I just discovered your blog. My first grader's been really emotional lately too. I thought it was just him, but it's nice to hear that other good kids have to work on adjusting to the long days at school. Hopefully they'll all feel settled in the next couple of weeks. He doesn't look too unhappy in that pic -what a cute smile!
That make's me laugh so hard about Aaron and Ammon. Bridger does that same thing to Theron. When Theron is walking Bridger will use his belly and bump him in the back and knock him down, or he'll trip him. It makes me so mad. I'm trying to be patient as I'm sure you are. EmberLee too has gone from half a day to a full day. In Kindergarten here it is full day whether you want it or not :) We have found that Earlier to bed for her has helped tremendously. She's in bed by 7:30. She's up by 7am. It has help with her tantrums for sure. I miss sharing the nursing lounge with you.
