FiRSt DAY!

Day ONE: Peyt woke up just before 7, bags under his eyes, you could tell he was tired, but he was SOOO excited so he was up and ready to go! I told him to just come downstairs while I ran and then we'd go up and get him ready. He scooped up his clothes off the bed and said "Nope, I can get in the shower by myself." He headed in the bathroom, shut and locked the door and I heard the water turn on. It was actually really cute! He was taking charge and didn't need me. so then I took Peyt to school and walked him over to where they line up, LIKE ALL THE MOMS, but you could tell he was totally embarrassed of me. I was taking pics and just soaking in the moment of my baby Peyt being big enough for Kindergarten!

Finally after some picture taking, Peyt says "Mom! No more! You can go now. Leave" In somewhat of a nice voice :) That day he came home a totally different boy. He had a meltdown. I felt so bad for him. He said he didn't like school. BUT then his friend Jaxon came over and when I asked if he liked it, they both said it was awesome! So there is for some friend upliftment :) Oh ya, and he had cash in his pocket to pay for lunch, so after school I asked if he got change back and he said "I didn't have to pay, they didn't make me." haha Well the lady must have not asked for his money, but let him through the line and sure enough he was negative in his lunch account when I set it up later. haha
DAY TWO: Peyt is afraid to ride the bus, he doesn't wanna get lost, even though I offered to show him exactly where to go. He is the sweetest little guy! Today he wanted me to make him a home lunch, because of yesterday, he didn't want to have the lady just let him through without paying. and later, it was brought to my attention from good ol' Brax he had a hard time at lunch, I had Peyt explain and he said they made him put his lunch box in a box while he went to recess.I had told him to keep track of it, so he told me he was afraid they would lose it, and he just wanted me to be there. He was so sad, and got teary eyed just telling me about it. Talk about one sensitive boy. It seriously breaks my heart.... I love him so much and hate to see him frustrated or already struggling. Even though they warned us that this happens more often with them learning chinese it didn't make it better that all night he told me he doesn't want to go to Kindergarten anymore, that he doesn't like going all day and being inside. I KNOW this is part of growing up, but I also know how much my heart aches to see my 6 yr old so sad with tears in his eyes, just asking for me to cuddle with him in bed and not leave. I hope tomorrow is a better day for my little boy! :(
We went to DRew's open house at the Tiffiny's Flower Box. I had heard such good things about it, people LOVE It, but when we went, I just got that pit feeling in my stomach. It made me sad, cuz I'm supposed to be so excited for Drew. But he wasn't excited either. EVEN though he gets cousins and friends in his class! On the way home he said "I just wanna stay home "wif" you mom." and I'm tempted to do just that. I wanna enjoy my little guy. It's been so fun spending this quality time with him while Peyt is at school. and honestly I don't wanna give him up for 2 days a week :(
Cute Beckham that didn't wanna be in the pic :)
and little Kinlee...I'm going to soak up even more the time of having her at home. It goes by way too fast! and today maybe it's hitting me that these kids of ours aren't staying little forever. I'm not ready to let them go. It's hard. Maybe too hard. Here's to hoping tomorrow is a better day!

Glad Peyton liked school today. It is hard to send our kiddos to school in the first place and even harder when they aren't enjoying it!
I can't believe, actually I can, how big Kinlee is getting!! Four weeks can make a difference!!!
Love ya

It is so hard to let them grow up. It is even harder to see them struggling with something. It will get better. Keep being positive and enjoy those snuggles while you can!! :D
