1. Germs
Saturday morning after the first full week of school, Nathan woke with a fever. He ended up missing three days of school. Going back on Thursday was disastrous. Friday, a little better. Monday, awful.
2. Mean bus drivers?
I brought him to the bus this morning and he did not want to get on that bus. Another mom mentioned that her daughter said the bus driver was mean to Nathan last week. Great. Just what I want to hear. Mean or just doing her job - I don't know. At least it's a short ride to school.
3. Subs
After finding some comfort in getting to know the teachers, they were out sick yesterday so he had a sub. In some ways, it's a good thing - get used to it kid! But I still feel sad for him. Not quite being adjusted, I'm sure it was hard to not have a familiar face to go to.
4. More whining
Much of the weekend was on and off complaints about not wanting to go to school. Oh yay, let's whine some more.
5. Spread of germs
Benny had a fever this past weekend and, as I type as 8:40a, he is still sleeping, even after an early bedtime. The kid is exhausted. Yet, somehow, still happy even when he's sick.
I'm sure I can find some good though . . .
1. Early bedtimes
Both kids were in bed and asleep last night by 9p. Many households I know of have bedtimes in the 7 - 8p range but that's never been us. Now, we are working in that direction. It's weird when it's still so light out but it's a good thing to be done with bedtime duties with enough time to actually enjoy the rest of the evening.
2. Quiet mornings
Right now, it's quiet. And it's really nice. Benny doesn't always sleep this late but when he does, having the peace is nice. (Even though inside I'm thinking about the crying Nathan at school today.)
I can't think of others right now. Maybe after some coffee I will . . . .
