First Day

Now that Tyler has been in First Grade for 3 weeks I actually have time to write about it. He was so excited and happy to go back to school and see all of his friends.  He has Mrs. d 'Autremont (aka Mrs. D.) He had Mrs. B. for Kindergarten so he is just moving up in the Alphabet! 

There are about 5 other kids in his class from last year so that was nice to see some familiar faces. He really likes his teacher Mrs. D. She is young and has the same blonde hair like Tyler. White Blonde! He loves his new classroom and thought that it was so cool to have his own desk. I think that it will be a good year for him and  he loves to learn new things. He is so smart! 

So, after the first day he came home very tired.  He just wanted to lay on the couch and watch a movie.  His first full day of school wore him out. Then that night he threw up 3 times. He told me that school made him sick and that he couldn't go back.  Ha!  I think it was just his nerves. The second day he came home and threw a big fit. When Tyler gets mad and is having a tantrum you move and get out of his way. We are working on his temper lately. It is a work in progress.  It is like the saying "If Mom isn't happy, then nobody is happy." In my house growing up it was "If Debbie isn't happy, then nobody is happy." Now in our house it is "If Tyler isn't happy then nobody is happy."  I was worried about him.  I know it takes a while to get use to going to school all day and a new routine was a big change for him.  He is like me and DOES NOT  do well with change. I watched him the rest of the week and he seemed to get better. I also talked to his teacher to make sure he wasn't acting out at school. He isn't so that made me feel better. 

He is coming home with 100% on his spelling tests and doing very good in school. So we are very proud of him. He is also in soccer so he is excited to play with some friends. 

 Now at home I just have the two and love the quiet time. Although since Hayden naps twice a day Carter and I have a lot of one on one time. So we have been playing games/puzzles galore! I am sick of Candyland/Chutes and Ladders. I think that I will be sick if I have to play one of those any time soon. I have gotten him to play other games and  by himself or color so that I can also have my mommy time too.  That has been nice lately.

We are all doing good and excited for this new school year!
