Week Two

Dan and I had our first day of school and Sean is now on his second week of school. He seems to be doing well, despite his dramatic attempts to make me feel bad in the morning when I drop him off. He gets good notes home from his teacher and yesterday when we left he said, "bye friends" to his class. It was really cute! I do think he is adjusting to a few things and so the evenings have been a little rough lately. The first thing is, he is super clingy to me....I mean SUPER. So that can be frustrating to have him attached to my hip, but I think he is just missing me and wants to make up for our lost time during the day. The other thing that might be hard for him is nap time is short. He only gets a two hour nap at school and over the summer he was sleeping a minimum of three hours a day. So....I think he is a little cranky too. Tuesday morning was especially difficult for him as we had to wake him up and he is just simply not a morning person. He also doesn't like to eat right away and we are force feeding food down his throat (since he can't eat b-fast at school). Well, I finally lost my patience with him and said, "Ugh, you are being SO difficult!!". We moved on and finally got out the door, as I didn't want to be late on the first day of school! As we were walking out the door he looks at me and says, "mommy-me no difficult me, guy!" Oh geez. And yes, he pronounced difficult just perfectly. At the very least it made me smile during a stressful morning.
