It has been fun, to say the least to watch Britton adjust to life as a 1st grader. Because the kid takes everything so seriously, I think he is thinking about school 24/7. This weekend, we stayed at a hotel in Colorado Springs and while he was sleeping he shouted out, "We have to get ready for the fire drill." Then last night when I went in his room to turn his humidifier on and put the covers back on him he rolled over and mumbled something about "Okay, I will do my homework and I will write my letters good."
Yesterday was the first day of homework and it completely stressed him out- to the point where he just kept saying "I am just worried about this homework. When should I do it? My teacher said no t.v. and no eating during homework and I just want to do a good job and what if I don't do it right." He then went on to say "These last 2 weeks we have just been practicing being first graders, no we have to be real first graders." Evidently he is feeling the pressure. I hope I can help him find the balance of taking it seriously, but not stressing TOO much."

i am laughing my head off at his subconscious comments. that is comedy.
Christina! Oh My Goodness! Your son looks so much like Brett, at least how I remember him growing up. It has been a long time since I have seen any of you! I hope you are doing well. I found you through Kim & Brandon on Facebook.
