Off and running

Thomas and Micheal ready for their first day of Booster K.

The 2010 - 2011 school year is off and running.  I have started my new job at Chapman Middle School in Chapman KS. I'm really enjoying it so far.  It is great getting out and meeting new people.  I did manage to break my pinky toe at school already.  I was getting up from lunch table to throw away my trash and caught my toe on the leg of a chair. David keeps telling me I should be using duct tape to tape it.  I'll stick to regular medical tape.

Michael has found his seat and he is ready to go!

Ethan has adjusted well to going to daycare.  He still would rather nurse than drink formula from a sippy cup.  I'm betting he gets pretty thirsty during the day.  He is pulling himself up to a stand and loving every minute of it.  Except for when he is falling to the ground.  One of his favorite things to do while standing or sitting is jamming to the music.  He loves to dance.

Thomas getting ready to start the day!

The biggest change for us this school year is Thomas and Micheal have started school.  They are in the Booster K program at the public school.  Their class is 13 boys, who are old enough for kindergarten but not quite ready.  I'm not sure how their teacher does it, but she must have patience of a saint.  They are loving every minute of school.  One of the factors determining if they had a good day or not, is the job they had that day.  If they have a day off, it wasn't a good day at school.  The other major factor is if they had to move their clip off the fish bowl.  They haven't had to move their clip very often, so they must behaving themselves pretty well.    They have quickly figured out if they take their lunch to school, they don't get much of a sweet treat for dessert.  As we go through the menu deciding if they will take or buy their lunch one of the deciding factors is dessert.  If the menu has something like cake or cookies they will be buying their lunch from school.  I'm sure we will have many more good stories to share.
