He Did Great!

When I picked up Carter this afternoon I was so happy to find out that he did great. The teachers both said he was super sweet, was a big helper, played really nice with the other kids, and had really good manners. I hope he continues to be this way because once he gets more comfortable in a situation, he can get a little crazy. I asked if there was anything I needed to do or to talk to him about and the teacher's response was don't change anything because he is perfect. Wow! I'm so relieved!

Everyday the kids get a little report to let you know a few details about their day. Carter took a 45 minute nap! The kids sleep on mats on the floor that are about the size of a crib mattress (but not as thick, obviously). Carter was a little crabby for awhile because he's been taking crazy 3 hour naps lately, but he's doing better now. The note on the bottoms says, "What a big helper! Sweet, sweet, sweet boy!"


Instead of writing about lunch, they just leave what the kids didn't eat in their bag so you can see. Carter ate all his cheese and raisins and half of his peanut butter sandwich.

The kids did a couple of art activities ...



And they read "The Kissing Hand" which is about a raccoon's first day of school and the kiss his mom gives his hand so he can hold her kiss all day long (we got the book through the free book program in Tennessee). The kids got to take kissing hands home with them so we remember to give them kisses each day.


While Carter was at school, Rylan and I came home so he could take a nap and I could do a little work (I'm crazy and have decided to work part-time again). Then we met Brian for lunch, did a little shopping at TJ Maxx, and then it was time to pick up Carter. It was nice being able to give Rylan more attention and it was so easy with just one kid!
