First Day!

Ollie started kindergarten on Tuesday. As we expected, the tears started flowing as soon as he got up. He cried for about 30 minutes, almost made himself puke, composed himself until it was time for the bus. We were able to walk to his stop without much problem. He didn't hesitate getting on the bus, but he still cried once on there.

Once he got home he couldn't stop talking about school and all the things he did there. He was only there for 2 1/2 hours, so I bet today's list of things will be even longer. Its the first full day with gym, recess and lunch as new twists. For lunch he is taking his lunch most of the time. Out of 28 days scheduled for lunch, he is only eating the school's lunch 8 days. He doesn't like much of what they are serving. Maybe that'll change next month once he sees what others are eating.

This morning went better as he didn't cry as much and admitted that he didn't like the bus. He can't wait to start before and after care when his Mama gets off maternity leave in October. At least then he won't have to ride the bus. He'll just have to get used to a new situation again. Which I'm sure will cause more tears.

Traveling Man

Ollie went on a trip this weekend. He went to visit Mama's family. He went swimming in Uncle Travis' pool with his sister Tori. On the 2nd trip to the pool he had a water fight with Uncle Dale. Ollie thinks he won, but they both ended up soaked.

He enjoyed the hotel like any hotel he stays in. He was a crabby boy on Sunday. He got woken up early so we could head home. He threw a fit about eating breakfast which he claimed he wanted the day before. He was fine until we got half-way home and he threw a fit at the restaurant. Once we forced him to eat an egg he seemed to be more pleasant. Guess we'll see when the next time the Evil Ollie comes out.

He starts school next week, so I'm sure we'll see a little of him then.

Things Are Changing

We've got a couple of trips planned as soon as I can walk right, and Ollie and Tori are going to be seeing a lot of people soon. They have no idea what's coming, and it will be interesting to see how they take to the trips and all of the new faces. Hopefully, they will see it as quite the adventure.
