Time for Some Quiet

Thomas was home sick all last week. I had grown accustomed to getting that 2 1/2 hours to myself when he's at school. I like it quite a bit actually. I love having him home, he's really quiet and will play legos or whatever else he likes. It wasn't until the end of the week, I realized I missed that time. Once you get a taste of something...So finally he is feeling better. I took him to school today. It took about 15 minutes of convincing him to get ready, he kept saying "No go, no go." Finally we were on our way. I especially like Timothy's contribution: "Thomas you were home all last week so you have to go today. Its not fair if you get to stay home and I don't!" Sometimes stuff can be a fight if he just plain doesn't want to do it. I found that if I just stay positive and remind him how much fun he has at school, he'll want to go. He does like it a lot. I think he just got spoiled after a week at home. Don and I finally caught the bug after a week, but I don't think it will last long.

Timothy's conference went well. Basically same thing different day. He has trouble focusing sometimes. I know that he has a lot going on is his brain. I can guarantee when he's at school, he's not thinking about school. I'm glad that he is the same kid at school that he is at home. SO when she is tellling us about him, we just nod our heads in understanding. Math is a struggle for him as it gets harder. This is something we expected, as neither of us did well with math in school. He's really in a great school though, and they will do everything they can to help him succeed. Fourth grade is approaching fast!

Next week is Spring Break! Yay! Oh wait, that means I don't get my 2 1/2 hours....Hmmm....going to have to send the boys to Grandmas house for some Me time.
