Nothing like a vh1soul night chilllllinnn my mind is back in the 90's somewhere lol.. I told them kids to leave me alone or I was sending them to bed. Haven't heard a peep out of them yet, except for baby cakes telling me he was hungry, (besides its only been an hour since he ate almost a whole pizza) smh! What will I do when he turns 11?
NewYear New Schools...
Well we have finally got the routine down. Bed by 8, up by 6:15. As long as baths, Bj makes lunches, and everybody's clothes are out the night before, we are out of the house by 7:20. Babycakes is stop 1. New preschool. He jumps out the car now. He's excited. He's glad to see that everyone is in the car, so there is no problem getting dropped off. Babycakes preschool teacher says everyday, "That boy sure can eat." I can only imagine what my grocery bill will look like in 5 yrs. She also says, "we are getting know the real boy" he is talking a lot and standing up in chairs. SMH! Babycakes is making lots of friends, every five minutes he tells me, "mom I love my new school and friends. That is so nice to hear, I never heard him say that at his old daycare.
BigBjr is up next... that middle school traffic is no joke making it around the circle, I think I have found the best route to make it around in record time. The boy likes to get there at least by 7:50 so he can hang out in the cafeteria before locker time. He only talks about lunch at the middle school, "the choices mom, you should see what we get to pick from," I can sense that he is loving the independence he's getting in middle school now. He gets to ride the bus to my school with the other middle schoolers. He has a cell phone now, so he texts me when he is on his way, (along with everyone else). I do like the fact that I can contact him if there is an emergency, only if he doesn't drain the battery down playing music. I love the fact I can view all his grades, what he orders for lunch, and homework all online 24hrs a day. I stay up in his business! Got to go to Middle school open house, I felt like a teenager. Did everybody else's mom wait until they were 40 to start having kids? sheesh! lol. His health teacher mentioned they were going to study a unit on HIV & AIDS, and puberty. BigB and I looked at each other, It gets really real right about now!
Finally, last stop boys school and mine. Got a routine, oatmeal and applesauce for breakfast in my office. Even have a table setup so they can eat, cleanup, then play a game, or do an art project. They know when the hand hits the 7, and the bell rings, its time to get to class. After the 2nd day they were on their own. They didn't need mommy to walk them to class. (tear) They love their independence. I think I was walking BigBjr til he was in 2nd grade.
2nd week of school...Bray says his fav part of school is recess & PE. Bran says time with his best friends Floyd, and ohh he can't remember the other boys name.
About the 3rd day of school one of my coworkers tell me they overhead Bran talking to another kid in the hallway, they were planning their own playdates. Bran says, you can come over, I will just have to ask my mom, and you have to ask yours. Wait.. What's your name again? convo continues.. So we can play outside in my big swimming pool (baby pool by the way) but wait, what's your name again?
I think Bray has finally calmed down too. He was quite amped every day, very excited about school. He is very loud and animated. I kept saying bring it down, bring it down. He even has hand movements when he does it. Needless to say no crying in the past 3 days which is always a great sign. Apparently he is the most outgoing kid in his class. Go figure.
I was mortified when someone told me Bran licked his teachers hand today. Apparently she had made a comment about using vanilla scented lotion. I guess he took it literally. How embarrassing. Thankfully, she found humor in it. I reminded him of his two favorite words.. Bran that was "ridiculous" and "disgusting" why he says those two things all the time I have no clue. He also told his whole class that he had a baby sister. Of course, his teacher who is my coworker is confused, she thought my husband had another baby over the summer (smh). I couldn't figure out for the life of me why he was lying telling everyone he had a sister. Then it dawned on me who he was talking about. His cousin/sister Z. I told her to ask him her name, and sure enough that's exactly who he was talking about.
Somebody did make a comment, people will always know when the Brown's are coming and going to school, Hmmm.. I wonder how?
This weekend is just me and the guys. My hubby is out of town, and I get to experience some mommy and boys time, actually that seems to be everyday!
Stay tuned..........
