Today was the 3rd day of school for Vincent. It has been a rough go with the bus system,
but today the bus picked him up! He
didn’t get home from school until almost 5pm again, so that isn’t great. I am hoping it gets better, but I have my
doubts.
Poor Joel was supposed to have his 2nd day of
school, but he had a fever today.
Cecilia had one 2 days ago. I am
hoping it is just a bad cold, because keeping them away from the baby is not so
easy! He was so sick that he was
actually asking for medicine. I felt so
bad for him, but on the bright side I got to watch a movie with the kids for a
little bit.
Today Cecilia ended up in time out a lot. That will happen when you continually pester
your brother and pinch him and call him names, especially when he is sick. Every time I would put her in time out Joel
would cry because he didn’t want Cecilia to go to time out even though she just
hurt him. One time she was in time out I
went to let her off the bench and I asked her if she knew why she was in time
out. She said no, and I told her it was
for calling Joel names. She said she
wasn’t and I said yes you called him a bo-bo-poop head. To which she replied
“No I called him a do-do-bo head.” I had
to explain to her that was still not nice.
She didn’t seem to believe me and I am pretty sure she thought it was
worth sitting in time out for. We had fun
too, Cecilia likes to make funny faces so we spent some time making funny
faces into my camera. We laughed quite a
bit.
I was happy to get out of the house with Vincent and Dean to
go to soccer practice after refereeing Joel and Cecilia all day. Although the first week of school seemed to
be taking its toll on all the kids at soccer.
There was more crying and whining during practice than I had previously
witnessed and yes, some of it came from my child. The 2 hours he spent on the bus today plus
the long day at school and only 15 minutes at home before he had to leave for
soccer where taking a toll on him. It
should get better as the year goes on.
