WE Survived the 1st week of Kindergarten!!

Well.. WE did it!! We succesfully survived the first week of Kindergarten!! And by WE, I mean all of us!! For Trenton, this was a breeze. He has been talking about it for months, couldn't wait to go to school that first day. For me and Alex, we probably could have gotten by with keeping him home one more year! And as for Tanner, my poor Tanner... what he would do to be right there next to Trenton. Poor baby, I think he took it the hardest. But we did it. Week 1 was a success. For anybody who knows me, knows that me and schedules don't really mix. For the past couple years, I could just get up, do what I wanted, when I wanted, and not have to worry about it, heck we could even stay in our pajamas all day! And yes, I've always been a sucker for letting the boys stay up late, maybe a little to late, so I thought the new early bed time would be the hardest to adjust to. Boy was I wrong!! Thank goodness!! Trenton is soooo exhausted by the time he gets home, that he can't wait to go to bed, poor little guy. So were all adjusting well, to early bed times, early mornings, and busy days. With Trenton gone all day, it has given me extra time to spend with the little ones. Wow, what a different kid Tanner is. So mellow, calm, and sweet. I'm really enjoying my special time with him. And now he feels like the big brother for Tessa, and has started teaching her all the "cool" things he can do!

As for Trenton.. he cannot get enough of it!! His teachers name is Mrs. Hooker. She's really nice, and Trenton seems to be taking to her well. He has a best friend named Andrew.. and a girlfriend named Ali. Yes, a girlfriend already!! (maybe I should keep him home). He's got a little bit of homework, and I can tell that he has learned so much already, he even told me he got on the internet. Ha, Ha! Our biggest challenge, is making him understand that the school is not open on the weekends.. and he has to stay home those two days! I love his enthusiasm.

I enrolled Tanner & Tessa in a couple classes with parks and rec., arts & crafts and a tumbling class. And Trenton is getting ready to start T-ball, and his religious ed. classes. As for me, I'm just gonna try to keep up with them!! Ha Ha.. it's worth every second of it!
