Kindergarten- Week One

Okay, when in the blazing hell did my kid get old enough to attend school?!

The kiddo started this past Monday, and once the initial fear of the unknown past, he was good to go.

I wasnt quite so ready…

Sure hes only there until noon, but its really quiet in my house without the spaz-attack running free.

With the morning class comes a whole new thing for me.

Waking up at 7:30am…

And then making breakfast for the kid and helping him get ready for school.

I’m not a cheerful person early in the morning.

Aside from the adjusting to the new schedule, the kid also comes home with, wait for it…

Homework…

Yeah, in half-day kindergarten…

Sure its only a simple book to read, but really? Its kinda weird.

So he just finished his first week of school, and his highlights are:

He has a girlfriend AND a boyfriend (I assume in the not romantic sense)
He and the other boys ate bugs
He named the class pumpkin, Pumpy
He made a bat with his name written on the wings

My thoughts on his class are pretty simple, the career breeders with nannies weird me out, and there is one really bossy jerk of a kid who seems to hate everyone, and wants to be the alpha of the class. My kid is twice his size, and oozes charisma. Sure he oozes other things, but yeah…

The kid’s happy, I’m happy, if a bit tired.

Yay school!

Embarrassing Ammo

Yes, I am going to be one of THOSE mothers.

You know the ones I’m talking about. The ones with the piles of every little thing her kids have done, ESPECIALLY the horrifyingly embarrassing ones.

And just an example of some the photos I have in possession, a few I took today when the kid decided to be goofy.

Normally known as The Smart Kid

With eyes meant to break hearts...

Hes now the kid that does this...

And makes this face...

Its now on the internet for all to see.

There is a VERY special place in Hell for me… *cackle*

Gammie Visit Part 2

Well Mom has exited Calgary, and should soon be landing in Texas.

We actually had more pretty weather than bad for once. Except Jelly Bean decided to play Typhoid Mary and get us all sick. So that meant no Edmo trip to visit the new baby niece, Echo. But we did send up a nice box full of clothes, yay us!

One of the things we HAD to do while Mom was here was the Telus Science Centre because the Lego exhibit was about to leave. Oh man, talk about happy kid. Legos are probably his favorite thing.
