Re: back to school problem

[Guest guest]

Jodie, I thought of this for Ian. ....I bought him a

special " school book " (it's a tracing book to help children with

writing later on) and I plan on taking him with his book and new

pencil to the library. Just a thought.

Good Luck.

Hi Jodie

has a good suggestion here. Another thing you could do is take

thon " first day of school " shopping as well (yes, I know he went with

the boys, but bare with me).........just you and him, and buy a video? or a

game? or a neat food to make? or plan a little party (get some

hats).........something that you and he are going to do RIGHT when you get

home from dropping the boys off at school. He will be so excited about what

you two are going to do at home that morning, that he will probably be

pushing the boys out the door!! LOL

One thing, if you do go shopping, don't do it until the day or two before!

He will never stop hounding you for whatever it is that you buy!

Good luck

Debby

I know all too well the scenario. We went shoe

shopping and Kelli was watching quietly until the

shoes were on 's feet and she was trying to get

her's off so that she can try a pair on too. Thank

goodness Stride Rite's sale ended that day buy one get

second pair 1/2 off. Unfortunately the first pair the

lady put on Kelli didn't fit so that was an argument

to get them off before the new pair came out. By the

way it's starting to happen, Kelli and 's feet

measured the same size!!!!

Plus I'm going to have Kelli with me when I drop

off in the morning.

At night we practice a letter or two a night with

and last night Kelli kept saying " my turn, I

want a pencil, I want a turn. " I'll have to set her

up tonight with her little chalk board or something.

5 1/2 and Kelli 3

the " problem " with johnathon is he is the same size as christopher and

very mature for his age (he basically thinks he's 4!!) we already do

homework with him when the boys do theirs. christopher melted down on

nicholas first day of kidergarten because he wanted to go to the only

good thing was he actually started preschool that same day a few hours

later!! johnathon gets to go to the open house for nursery school but

then he cant return until nov. because thats when he will be 2 1/2yrs.

its going to be a long 2 months!!!
