Third Day of School

Quote - August 31, 7:15 AM:

Kat: Liam, I need you to make sure Isabella stays at the table and eats her breakfast. I'm going to finish getting ready.

[three seconds later, Liam comes screaming into our bedroom]

Kat: Liam! What are you doing? I asked you to look after Isabella!

Liam: She's crazy! She's chasing me!

Kat: Isabella, go eat your breakfast. Liam, stay with her.

[Liam and Isabella start walking back to kitchen. Isabella starts acting crazy again.]

Liam: Isabella! Finish your breakfast! Tina! Eat your food!

***Note: If you have not seen Napoleon Dynamite, you will not get this joke. Sorry.

Updates:

Liam's class is learning about one of their three rules each day. Yesterday was respect. If they "caught" someone in the class doing something nice for another kid, they go to the two big jars in the room and put one marble from the full jar into the empty jar. The goal is to fill the empty jar by the end of the day. Someone "caught" him helping a friend draw something yesterday and picking up for someone else today. He said that if all the marbles have been moved to the one that was empty, they will have done "100 percent", which is very important to him!

Maddie reports that she has a best friend (already), Dani. Dani's mom is the assistant in Isabella's room and she is a darling little girl. Maddie helped take care of Isabella in early care this morning and she and Dani walked Isabella to her class room. Maddie has her first full day tomorrow. She is in the 3-6 year old classroom until 11:30A, then goes to the kindergarten enrichment classroom for lunch until 3:30. There are 10 kindergarteners and she has the kindergarten enrichment teachers for her morning class, too.

Isabella has cried every day when I dropped her off, but literally stops crying when the door closes and I'm gone. Teachers say she's doing really well and having fun. Apparently she only cries when I'm around. Super. She has become full potty trained and has not had one accident since starting school on Monday. Ahhh...peer pressure. My plan to phase myself out is nearly complete...
