First Week of School

E's first week of school in the new class was successful. He was a bit crabby a few days, and didn't want to go, but once he was there he had fun. He is definately more challenged in this class, and is actually learning things. Right now they have him working on his writing, which is for sure the area he needs the most work on. He knows how the letters go, but he's very messy and not good at keeping them the same size.

On Thursday of this week, he has his first field trip - to the pumpkin farm. I asked if I could go, and they said I can. Ethan informed me that he's not sitting next to me on the bus - he's sitting next to a girl. He's so sweet =P

He's getting into the groove of getting up early & going to bed earlier. Of course, this backfires on us when it's Saturday morning and he's up at 6:30, but I guess that's better than him not wanting to get up the rest of the week.

He also carved the first of his pumpkins this week - well ok, he picked the stencil and I carved it. It's supposed to be Minnie Mouse, but the knife thingy broke in the middle of it, and it kind of looks like a blob. He's happy though, so that's what matters. The rest of our pumpkins are going to be traditional faces though!

I guess in the picture it does kind of look like Minnie. Awesome!

I tried to take a few pictures of Ethan & Elvis together yesterday, because Elvis was sitting nice. Of course as soon as E comes and sits next to him, he starts giving him dog kisses - GROSS!
