Literally this is the first minute he was in the classroom…he walked right over to the table and picked up a glass of water and started drinking it. I was still standing with his coat in my hand and well…my jaw on the floor.

the sweeper?!

I quietly made an exit here. Arlin didn’t even notice I was leaving- or should I say he could careless I was leaving!

I snuck up on Arlin after school to pick him up. He was glued to the fence of the play yard watching two skateboarders cruise up and down the street.

Yep…the Captain! Eating rocks and who knows what else when I picked him up.  We came home right after I picked him up, he was totally wiped out from missing his morning nap time. I went to take his coat off and a bunch of white rice spilled out onto the floor?! Must have been some exercise they did in class??!! It was challenging just to get through lunch- his head was bobbing…I’ve never seen him that tired. He immediately went down for almost a 2 hour nap after lunch…I waited patiently for him to wake up- I wanted to play! It felt so strange not having him with me all morning. Milestones…wow do they make me feel grown up.
