Kindergarten has been very fun and also more challenging than I realized. Jackson struggled in the beginning with the transition to longer, more structured days. We had lots of grumpy meltdowns in the first weeks of school. He was even more unstable than usual.
He has adjusted pretty well now and seems to like school. His favorite part of school is recess and he loves pizza Fridays. He complains about naptime and about having to go to mass every Friday. We also hear a lot of “school is hard work!” “i have to be there for seven hours!”
This is school assignment that he brought home in his folder last week.
It says “I feel happy when…” and the picture he drew is me giving him a new toy.
Next, it says “I feel sad when…” and the picture is him asking “Can I have a toy?” and me saying “NO!”
He has a way of redeeming himself, though. This is the surprise he left for me on our bed earlier today. It says “I love you mommy” Sweet boy…
I like your puff sleeved shirt you wear while not spoiling children.
Whew! I thought that toy was a baseball bat!
At least the sun is shining….?
