Well, a lot of things are on my mind right now. School being one of them. Charlie just isn't taking to preschool too well. In fact, it's down right bad. I don't know what to do. I've talked to him over and over again, and yet as soon as he realizes that he is going to school, (that I didn't forget), he cries. He cries up until we walk out the door. He does not cry when I drop him off. Thank goodness. But on Thursday his teacher told me that he cried a couple of times throughout the day. It just breaks my heart. I know that his is very shy, and he is not too outgoing, but I honestly thought that this would get better as time went by. I want him to have fun. I want him to enjoy preschool. Any advice would be appreciated. So far my thoughts are to give it some more time.
Harrison is doing well with school. We hit a couple of stumbling blocks last week, and just worked our way through them. I swear I saw that little gleam in his eye. I love that I see it firsthand. We also did a fun little art project. He really loves to use his "safety scissors". He told Robert to get some big cardboard boxes so that he could make a pirate ship out of them, and he would use his safety scissors to cut some windows. He loves Friday school. Last Friday was picture day. One only knows what I will see when we get his pictures. I have a feeling that he will have used his "deer in the headlights" smile.
Today he made butter at school. He said he didn't like it. I said that was funny because he loves it on corn-on-the-cob. We went to the park after school, and he and Charlie ran around for a good two hours, and I got to pick the brains of the other moms and hear about how school is going for them. I am so happy to be in this group.
My bookclub is on to our newest book. I've got to get it linked for you. We had our bookclub last Sunday, and unfortunately I think we are going to be wrapping it up soon. I say that knowing full well that I previously posted that I didn't see us ever ending, but what can I say? Things change. I've felt it for a little while. I'm not happy with the direction we are going. I love, love, love these women, that won't change. We just aren't much of a true bookclub anymore. I am disappointed, but I have not enjoyed our meetings lately, we have lost our focus. To me it's always been about good books, and when that quit being the focus, I knew it was time. Just recently I've discovered that I'm not the only one that feels this way. So, we'll see how that goes.
