Friday...

Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days...still trying to get better! This sickness has definitely taken a toll on me. Ian had a rough morning at Kindergarten yesterday, but Ms. Braun is just outstanding and worked through it with him! I really like how she communicates with me about Ian...she informed me in the morning about the situation and updated me a few hours later to tell me that all is well. I was at work this morning and I guess it was a challenge to get Ian in the truck and off to school today. Not sure if he was a bit jealous that Gavin got to stay home with Cailean today or if he is just plain exhausted from the week. I guess he was just sobbing when he had to leave the truck and go into the building. But, Ms. Braun contacted me in the afternoon and said he didn't have any tears in the classroom! So, great job Ian!

He was really excited yesterday about earning a ticket in Music. Ian said he let someone go in front of him in line and the teacher liked that and gave him a ticket. For those of you wondering...Kingswood believes in the positive reinforcement system. So, tickets are handed out for positive behavior. Students collect them and then are allowed to trade them in for various items...play basketball against the Asst Principal or have lunch with a teacher or toys or put a handprint on the wall, etc. Those are some of the things we have heard at least.

Cailean, Gavin and I picked up Ian this afternoon and he thought it was the absolute coolest that his teacher was going to the same football game as him tomorrow night! It was soooo funny the way he was telling us the story! He thinks it's great that his teacher loves football and is a NC State fan! I think they have a special bond now! ;)

Gavin is doing very well at his pre-school! It's so hard watching the little guy walk in with a teacher though because he's soooo tiny! He would love to go to school five days a week like his brother though! He even went potty at pre-school this week for Miss Sherri! He is such a big boy now...hard to believe!

Ian's soccer game is cancelled for tomorrow morning due to the weather that we are supposed to be getting as well as a birthday party we were to attend. The football game is still on for tomorrow. We'll be tailgating with some people in the late afternoon from my work, dinner in the football complex at 5:15pm and then kickoff is at 6pm. Cailean, Pop-pop, Ian and I are going while mom and Mimi stay home with Gavin. Ian didn't know he was going to the game until I called him at 8am today. He found the envelope and saw the passes that we need to wear for tomorrow. He just thinks this is awesome! No ticket, but a special pass.
