goodbye summer, hello kindergarten and first grade!
my two baby boys are off at their first days of kindergarten and first grade. sniff sniff. with a pit in my stomach i watched as brooks boarded the bus and gave me that look like, "why are you still out there?" poor kid had no idea what to do with himself, where do i sit? do i hold my book bag? no i should put it back on. no, hold it. no, wait, i don't know. who is this kid next to me? why is my mom crying? ugh! fortunately, i made it to the school to see him get off and walked with him to his class. i left him sitting at his seat starring. i sure hope he has an awesome first day.
carson, on the other hand, was a different story. as with most things we like to do it the hard way. last night he was not feeling well at all, had been sleeping or in the fetal position most of the day. when i called the doctor they felt like he needed to come in to the ER to be checked out for a possible shunt malfunction. Long story short, a CT scan and X-ray series later he's ok. his shunt is working just fine. he probably has a virus of some sort or possible just a really bad upset tummy. at least i'm not worrying his shunt isn't working. by the time we got him home and in bed it was 11:30 pm so he got a little bit of a free pass and after waking up and seeing that he felt much better it was off to school he went. carson is going to a different school than brooks, we're hoping and praying for only this year. they have a smaller class for first grade and he can get a lot of one on one support. our goal is to boost him up as much as possible so that he can have the skills and confidence to go into second grade, hopefully at the same school as brooks. this was an extremely difficult choice for us to make but in the end we felt like it was the best one. splitting the boys up is not something i wanted to do but it is what it is, for now.
so, here's to a great school year for both my little guys! as for me and shelby, we've got a lot of time on our hands just us girls. i'm sure we can find some trouble to get in to.
