And it begins...

This week has been CRAZY! I don't know if I posted anything last year or not, but I was planning on teaching 2nd grade for the first time this coming year. Well, a few days ago I was asked to return to my 4th grade team- after I (and mom and dad) had fully moved and unpacked in my new 2nd grade room. Of course I said yes, and after a full week I am back to where I started at the end of last year :) Oh well, I am definitely glad to be back with my old team!!

On another note, Wade went to daycare for the first time this week. Wade has never been watched by anyone other than his grandparents or our neighbor (who he's known since he was born). So to say the least, this week has been interesting...

We decided to put him in an in-home daycare. It is run by a lady named Leticia, but the kids call her Ms. Leti. She speaks mostly Spanish to the kids and it's actually pretty cool to hear her speak [very quickly] to the kids and watch them understand what she's saying and answer her! She has 2 other 2-year old boys, a 4-year old girl and a 16-month old girl. She cooks for the kids, they play outside, and sing and dance and play all day long. Plus she teaches them a little bit too :) She's great!

However...

He went to Ms. Leti's house for half days Monday through Wednesday and full days Thursday and Friday. Monday was fine, because it was new and he had no idea I would be leaving. Tuesday was a Disaster (yes, with a capitol "D")! He wouldn't eat and cried for the 4 straight hours I left him there. His voice was actually hoarse when I picked him up (I almost quit school that day to be a stay-at-home mom). Wednesday was a little better (he ate something and didn't cry the whole time). Thursday went surprisingly well! He actually napped for almost 2 hrs while the other kids were awake and refusing to take their naps. Exactly the opposite of what I thought would happen. Friday was also pretty good. He slept, but still refused to eat much. I tend think it might have to do with his back teeth (2 year molars) coming in.

Anyway, that's the latest:) I will try to finish posting my summer pictures this weekend. Warning: super-cute beach pictures ahead!
