We are so excited the boys are liking their new school. Daniel told me yesterday "it is a little bit of fun at school". His teachers have been observant of his "slow to warm up" nature and have kept me updated on his participation in the class. Today they reported he really came out of his shell and started telling them some stories. I would have loved to hear them, but I did hear a good one on the way home today.
Daniel found an acorn in the parking lot at school and started talking about squirrels. He said he hadn't seen any squirrels around here and wondered aloud where they went. He thought for a minute and said, "I know what happened! It rained really hard and then it got hot, so all of the squirrels moved to Washington DC." Watch out, Aunt Julie and GWB, they are all headed towards you!
Wesley is loved and adored by his teachers (I'm not just saying this- they came right out and told me he is one of their "best" ones). Even though he had to miss a day due to sickness last week, our little extrovert has enjoyed being around the other kids and adults. He is even making cute crafts and enjoying his music class.
As for me, the free time is great, especially when Dave is traveling so much and working late. I've been able to catch up on errands, have lunch with friends, work and hopefully I will tackle some bigger postponed projects in the next few weeks. Today, I had my hair cut and colored because my bangs were down to my nose. I love having blond hair again! Hooray for school!
