No pics today, just an entry so I can remember these moments. Today went smoother than yesterday as far as our morning routine. Both boys were easy to wake up and still excited for school. Jordan put the finishing touches on his Brown Bag Presentation. He had to find 8 items that answered the 8 questions his teacher asked and they had to be small enough to fit in a brown paper lunch bag. Questions were for example:
~What career/job do you want when you're older: Jordan found a picture of Dicky V., a famous sports announcer...he's wanting to be a sports analyst when he grows up!
~ What is your hobby: he took a baseball card because he collects baseball cards.
It was a neat project and at the last minute he changed his mind on the What do you dislike the most question: his first answer was broccoli, so we had a piece of broccoli ready but he changed it to the Cubs baseball and picked a Cubs baseball card!
Jacob was excited again today for school. He was so excited that when we arrived at school, he told me he wanted Jordan to take him in. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm........................NO! I don't think so. He asked why and I simply told him that I wasn't ready for that and we'll see about it in the future, the very distant future! He told his brother to have a good day as we parted hallways and a teacher commented on how sweet that was......if she only saw them when they fought!!!! He took his folder out of his backpack by himself and put the pack away in the locker.....his teacher encouraged us to let them do things themselves. I don't have a problem with Jacob doing things on his own, he makes his own pb&j sandwiches, brushes his teeth on his own, gets dressed alone, gives himself a bath (with our supervision of course), he does chores....he's pretty independent. We headed down to his room and said our good byes and he went in alone. So much easier than yesterday. The house is quiet but I plan on getting a lot accomplished today. 4th grade day #3 and Kindergarten day #2 is being written right now, I pray they have a great day!

So happy to see that Jake's first days went well. I cried like a baby when I left Mason at 1st grade...he was so nervous about being there all day. They are still adjusting but like you I cover them in prayer and have faith for the best for them at school. I miss Jacob at school. It's weird starting over every year. Give him a hug for me. Love, Tina
