Seven more days.

Well yes, Caleb's class is having a "meet the teacher day this Friday. Then afterwards they will have an ice cream social in the gym. That will be fun. Caleb's K-garten teacher came over last thursday to meet our dysfunctional family and show Caleb some of the things he'll be doing in school. As soon as she came to our house Caleb said, "I'm tired I want to go to bed." To which I looked at him with evil eyes and said, "sit down and listen to your teacher." She is a very nice lady. She gave me instructions on things he is to work on before the first day of school next Monday and instructions on what I should and shouldn't do on the first day of school.

We received an email from his teacher to us and the rest of the class about a week ago. To which I did a reply all to see if some of the other parents would want to meet for a play date so the kids could meet before the first day of school. One parent was supposed to meet us last Tues. at a local park and they were a no show. Caleb was bummed and I was a little miffed. I had basically forced him to come because he didn't want to meet some one he didn't know and then when they didn't show that didn't help my situation any with him. I never did hear from her as to why they didn't show. Then this past Sat. we were able to meet with a family, caleb and their son got a long really well. It was nice. So at least he will know have one friend when I drop him off Monday morning. Speaking of dropping off, I'm only allowed to go in his school room on the first day and from then on I'm to drop him off in the "drop off room" turn around and leave immediately. Ugh.

It's really the small things I'm worried about, he will have to wear a belt with his uniform. I"m worried he won't get it off in time when he has to go to the bathroom and then he'll end up in an embarrassing situation. We did a trial run last night with him and he put up the biggest fuss that he didn't want to wear a belt. But I insisted and it was done. We're going to put it on again in a little bit, so I'm not looking forward to that. But he must practice, buckling and unbuckling it. That's just life.

How can five years go by so fast? I can't believe he is headed for school already!

Karen how was the movie? Hey, maybe after emily is in preschool in two weeks I'll go see that movie!
