He's been full of stories about his teachers, other kids, and lunchtime. Evidently eating in the cafeteria is really exciting. I can't say that I feel the same way!
This week in PE they learned to hula hoop. Reese was excited to share that he told his entire PE group about Emo's amazing hula hooping ability, I think they signed her up as entertainment for Grandparent's Day.
The only downside, if you can call it that, is that poor buddy has been slap worn out. I could tell on Wednesday night we were starting to hit a wall and told Lofton as we were getting ready for bed to be prepared. I know when things are about to get ugly. Thursday was a little worse and by Friday morning Reese had come unglued. I emailed his teacher to let her know we'd had a rough morning and she let me know that she suspected something was up. Reese is accustomed to napping most every day. He can go without a nap, but not for five days in a row. They do have "rest time" but I think by the time he gets settled to sleep, it's time to wake up.
We've been putting him to bed around 7:30, and I'm hoping after another week or so he's body will adjust to the more hectic pace.
Speaking of tired, I've been going to bed a little earlier myself. The first week of school wears me out. So much of me having to talk, and organize, and instruct the kiddos about every little thing. It takes a lot out of you! But I will say that I've had a peace about the start of this school year that I haven't had in a long time. It's been really amazing.
I'm excited to have Labor Day just around the corner and preparations are underway for my favorite little boy's fifth birthday party. Can you believe it? Friday night football starts this week and Auburn plays Saturday so we are officially ready for Fall!
