Well, today was the big day! Easton got up racing this morning ready for his first day of kindergarten that we've been talking about for weeks. I will never forget the expressions and words of excitement he was full of. He was dying to ride the bus, but of course, it's only tradition for mommy and daddy to take you on your first day of school. Or so I thouht. We took him to his classroom only for him to just leave Timmy and I just standing there all sad. He didn't even care to tell us bye since he was about to bust with happiness. It was truly awesome to see him this excited. All day long, I couldn't help but to think about how his day was going. I couldn't wait to talk with him about his first day of school. He got off the bus at pappaw's house (my dad) and was waiting there for me to pick him up. After talking to him for about 30 seconds, it was clear that he didn't have a good day. Let me rephrase that, Mrs. Thomas (his teacher) didn't have a good day with Easton. She sent a note home in his backpack that read:
"Easton's first day was a little trying for us.
He will need to follow rules better tomorrow.
I know tomorrow will be better. Mrs. Thomas"
Oh my gosh, I didn't even know it was possible to have a note sent home about behavior on the first day of school. Only Easton. Ha. Ha. Apparently, if a child is bad, they get a card pulled. They have 5 total cards, which by the 5th and last card pulled, you are in the principal's office with your parents called. Easton had 4 cards pulled. For years now, Timmy's mom and dad has told me about Timmy's school years and has even showed me notes and report cards of his that they had saved. Easton's behavior today is SO coming from Timmy. Let's just go ahead and get that clear. (Sorry Timmy, but I'm pretty sure this is true). Anyway, I guess I'm writing about this because I can hopefully look back on this day and laugh. Because lets just say, none of us were very happy campers this evening. After long talks and punishment with Easton tonight, I really hope Easton has a better day tomorrow. I love you so much Easton, but man you stress me sometimes!!!!!!
aaahhh what fun. Isn't it so nice of our husbands to drag us into their payback situations for the way they behave..I'm sure I'll get plenty! Tanner's already complaining about having to go everyday that's partially due to big bro's influence! Just wait til it's Chaz's turn you'll understand.
ReplyDeleteI am sure today will be better! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteohhhh.....Lisa! I understand about our husband's behavior, completely! We need to swap stories! haha...Brody's first WEEK has been a week from hell! I was ready to give up completely several times! It's not even his first year! Hope everything is better!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I looked at the picture before reading the post I thought "Little Timmy" then I read the post and I thought, "Little Timmy..." =)
ReplyDeleteLisa, I hope things get better for both of you. Easton will adjust soon enough! I can't believe that you and Gino have children in school!
