Monday was David's first day of 1st grade. He was so excited to be going back to school and we were so excited for him to be starting his first year of full days at school. We thought this would be perfect for David since he is always so eager to learn and have fun. Well, the first 2 days seemed to go pretty well, then last night he dropped a little bomb on me. He started crying and said that he didn't want to go to school anymore. When I asked him why, he said because he misses his family too much during the day. He told me that yesterday he missed me so much he could have cried. That broke my heart! He even decided that he could just get home schooled and that way everyone wins. He could still be going to school AND get to be with me all day. After a talk from mommy last night, daddy this morning, and a fun day at school today, he seems to have gotten over it. I am sure that he will continue to adjust to full days just fine and go on being the little guy who LOVES school and learning.
This is David with his best friend Josh. I took several pictures and in every one they had their eyes closed. Chad says it's because their future is so bright. Funny guy =)
They are finally on the big kid playground! Tether ball seems to be his new favorite activity!

Bailee did the same thing when he went into first grade and he just started 2nd and cried the first few days because he hates being gone all day. but it does get easier!
Jared also said he wanted to be homeschooled, but... that's because he thinks we are going to do fun things without him. Oh wait. We do... It's not my fault it's so stinkin hot here that we are still going to the splash park. And that Kiefer was so cute with the ice cream scoop begging that I let both he & Avery have an ice cream cone at 9:30 in the morning.
Have Spencer bring his swim suit for the 9-9-09. We should play at the splash park so the kids can have something fun to do while we chat.
