Douglas started Kindergarten 2 weeks ago and Harrison started "big boy" preschool.  We did a mom's joyschool preschool last year for Harrison but this year he goes to the elementary school for his preschool class.

Douglas loves school.  I'm not surprised and I had no worries about him adjusting.  I say this from a teachers prospective, thinking back to my year of teaching, but Douglas is the perfect student.  He wants to please the teacher, he's kind, and he's obedient.  For disclipine their names are clipped to green and they can go down to yellow and red or up to silver, then gold.  Douglas really wanted to be on "golden".  He made it to silver the first week for being polite in the cafeteria at lunch and receiving a super awesome compliment.  He brought home a "happy note" from his teacher.  Last week he made it to gold and he brought home a happy note and treasure box toy (aka happy meal toy).  On his 3rd or 4th day of school he wet his pants in music.  It was his first time to go to music class.  I asked him why he had an accident and he said the music teacher told them "not to talk when he's talking."  Bless his sweet heart, he didn't want to interupt the teacher b/c the teacher told them not to.  We had a talk about that.  Anyways, he's doing well and a couple of the kids from his class are in his soccer team so that's fun to.


Harrison has been loving school too.  I thought he would whine a little the first day but no.   He does a great job telling me about school when I pick him up. 

I'm very glad the boys like school and seem to be doing well.

This cute fellow had a birthday today.

Harrison is a mixed bag.  He drives me freaking NUTS!!!  Yet, he has this irresistable, sweet, loving side.  He is my cuddle bug.  He has the cutest little personality.  He has great facial expressions.  His face is very expressionate.  Wide eyed happiness or droopy face sadness.  I call him my bipolar child, although I suppose I should stop. 

He started big boy preschool last week and loves it.  What amazes me is that he tells me all about his day.  I didn't expect for him to tell me anything.    I plan on asking him a questionare tomorrow so it should be interesting to see his answers. 

We love him so much.  He is a joy.

I took him to the store several times and had him show me what he wanted.  Mom and Dean took him on a little date 2 days before his bday to the store and he showed them what he wanted and they bought it and then took him for icecream.
