Kindergarten.....when did that happen?

Alekisio started school with no hesitation. There were some moments during the preceeding week that he said he didn't want to go. I think that was just because both kids have been a little clingy since they don't have dad around. However as soon as school started he was ready to go. I could never get him to write his name and within a week he was writing it really well. I'm so excited to see the progress he's making. Having a school age child is new so I'm trying to figure out how to deal with some of the trials that arise but I think I'm doing alright.


I wasn't sure if Alekisio would like packing his lunch especially when I realized that he's the only one in his class that doesn't buy. I'm so relieved that he still wants to pack. I'm not a fan of the lunches they have. Our deal is he can choose one day a week for lunch and one for breakfast. I wasn't going to give into the breakfast wish but he really really wants to eat there every day. Everyone I know remembers loving superdonuts, I don't want to be the mean uptight mom that says no to a classic like superdonuts, so once a week works for both of us. Besides the way his face lights up and the bounce he gets in his step when he gets to eat breakfast is worth it. I can't believe my baby is in school. I was searching through the kids pics for a christmas present today and it's amazing how fast they grow and change in a few years!
