The other day at dinner the Girl had the toots. She can really clear a room. As we were eating my AGW was trying to figure out who was doing it. Both kids quickly said it wasn't me. The problem was there was a giveaway by the Girl. She then decided to say and point to my AGW, "It was you!" while laughing the whole time.

Go To Work!
This morning the Girl was being a little bossy. My AGW usually leaves for work before we leave for school and the Girl was practically telling her to leave. As we are all sitting in the living room the girl says "Go To Work Mommy!" It was a little funny but then she made her demand again.
At this point the Boy decided to take a vote and says, "Who votes for Mommy to go to work?" The Girl Promptly pats her chest and says, "I do!" The boy and obviously voted for my AGW to stay home. Sometimes that girl can be a little stinker or as the preschool teacher said after the first day, "She is a little pistol isn't she?!"

The Big Leap
The Boy has skipped the First Grade and went on two Second Grade. We have been excited and nervous as all can be. He is doing very well so far although he is still getting used to the new procedures. The biggest issue is that in 2nd grade their is more desk sitting which for him is sometimes difficult. The hard part is that I work in the same school so I don't want to be the super helicopter parent. So far I think I have achieved a good balance but I want to make sure he is adjusting well. The Boy probably thinks that I should get out of the way.
It has been two weeks since I started teaching at the Boy's school (which is also the Girl's school) and even though I am tired on those days and the class schedule is a little crazy, it has been a great experience so far. We are almost done with the President's Challenge and will be moving on to golf, soap bubbles, shot put, discus, Fire and Ice Tag, Bowling in the winter, floor hockey, etc. I can't wait. Sometimes the repetition can be bad but to play some childhood favorites over and over all day is fantastic. So far I think the 8th graders favorite has been Freeze Tag, they have also enjoyed Sharks and Minnows. Anyways it has been a blast and can't wait to see if I have any Presidential Fitness Award winners.
The Girl has started school and loves it. She also has been loving annoying the crap out of her brother.
It is now Friday, we had an assembly mid-day which stirs up the kids, a Friday 3:00 meeting before a holiday weekend, so it is time for a martini.

The First Day of School
Recently over a couple of days we had our first day of school.
The Boy started a day earlier than the Girl and me. The Monday before school started we met with his teacher and it was decided that he should skip the 1st grade. This wasn't so much an issue for him as us. On the way to school on the first day the Boy says, "If I know all the 2nd grade math problems will they move me into the third grade?" We laughed and appreciated his great attitude but convinced him to at least start one grade and see how we are doing. We were worried about him but thus far he is doing fine.
The Girl and I had our first days the next day. The Girl started preschool and was very excited. She really likes school just like her brother which is nice. The teacher at the end of the day said to me, "She had a great day. She is a pistol isn't she?" I just laughed as I am sure the Girl will soon be running the preschool. She did throw a book at someone although I think it was an accident.
My first day was great, except for the beginning. I was trying to ease into the first day and be a little early so I wouldn't have a lot to worry about. Well I misplaced my car keys which also has my school keys and then it was a sheer 7 minutes of panic. My AGW found them sitting right on the stool where I was helping my son with his shoes. Deep breath and on to getting to school. Right as we pull in the parking lot and get out of the car my insulin pump makes a funny beep - "LOW BATTERY"! UGH! That is one of two messages I don't want to see right before starting my first day. Fortunately my AGW was bringing the Girl into school that morning for her first day so she was able to save me and bring a new battery with her. Then nearing the end of my first class the school Director says "When you have a moment please come to my office I need to talk to you." It has only been one class and I can't imagine what is going on now, maybe my first class was my last class. All he wanted to do was discuss making sure certain doors were locked. After that it was smooth sailing but those first couple of hours of my first day were tough and at that point I just wanted to nap as I was worn out.
