School Daze

Being in school has been an adjustment for us all. Gavin has forgotten something 5 days out of the 8 he's been in. And he has missed the bus several times and is already having trouble with the bus driver. On a positive note, he is thinking about trying out for the swim team. Gracie and Gage have been doing okay getting up and in class. Gracie finishes her homework on the bus, to allow for more time to play. Gage had his first day of "all day" school yesterday, and wasn't really impressed. The twins have been having a terrible time getting up. I am hoping this will get better. Our biggest problem is what clothes they will wear. They are both partial to a couple of shirts, and because there are usually two of every shirt, they want to wear them back to back. From a mother's standpoint, although they are clean, it will look like I am sending them in the same shirt day after day. This morning after listening to Berek cry and beg to wear the "Green muscle shirt" (between the two of them, they each have two different green muscle shirts and has worn three of them this week), I finally said he couldn't go if he wasn't willing to wear a different shirt and told him he could put the green one on as soon as he got home. The minute he walked in the door, he headed for his room and changed his shirt. He didn't even say "Hi, Mom.", first.
