The first day of school...
Today, the parking lots were full, the halls were crowded with students, and people roaming around everywhere... It is the first day of a new academic year! It was also the first day of school for AJ (Kindergarten) and Mio (Monstessori Pre-school). I was really afraid of the "morning struggles" I would have to face with the boys... but it wasn't all that bad. I think the hardest thing for me, was waking myself up this morning!
After my shower/brushing my teeth, I turned on the tv in the boys room and did the "start to wake up" phase... aka don't have to be physically awake, but start to...like putting an alarm on snooze. AJ helped a little in encouraging Mio to wake up, "it's the first day of school!".
I finished getting myself ready, and then returned for the "active wake up" call, which was timed perfectly with daddy, who just finished making lunch, so they could ready at the same time. AJ was very cooperative: brushed his teeth and got dressed... Mio, well he was quite hesitant, but not as stubborn as could be. The whole ride to school Mio just repeatedly complained, "I don't wanna go to school. I want to play games. I want to go to fix flags Marine World".
But sure enough as we approached the Early Learning Center, and their classroom... they found their cubbies, hung their jackets, and found their name tags... (very proud of having new ones this year), they were off. Mio immediately asks his teacher, "Do you have games?".
