Day 9


Yesterday seemed to be a better day.  Gray was excited to go to school, and was in a great mood when he came home.  I made sure he got a snack and some down time right away and it really seemed to help him get through the rest of the afternoon and evening. 

I love Mondays because it's the day that Gray has art.  I love seeing what he has created when he comes home from school.  Yesterday was fish and they were great!!  He did a great job drawing the fish, and I loved seeing Gray's creativity come through with the colors and stripes that adorned his creations.

Gray talks more and more about the kids he plays with.  Paige is a common name that comes up, mostly because he sits next to her, I think.  He gets excited when he learns the name of a new friend and remembers it long enough to tell me what it is when he gets home.  I'm looking forward to the Open House in a few weeks so that I can try to put some names and faces together.

When we were talking about his day at dinner, Gray casually mentioned something about his teacher that immediately put me on alert.  I emailed his teacher this morning in the hopes of getting some more feed back from her and am probably going to drive Gray to school tomorrow just to have an excuse to pop in and check things out.  I'm sure everything will be great, and as long as Gray continues to come home happy and seems to enjoy school, I'm going to try my best not to get overly concerned.  I just have to say, though, that home schooling sounds more and more appealing every day.

That's great Grayson is having fun at school! :) That's the most important part. I hope you're able to sort things out with his teacher.

And I was homeschooled from grades 7-12, and it was a pretty good experience! We were able to do a lot of different things that we probably wouldn't have been able to do normally. That said, there is still something really exciting about the whole "regular school" experience. :)
