For all of you who are wondering, here's the lowdown on our first day of 1 1/2 grade:  Kaylee (1 yr. old) stayed up veeeerrrry late last night and woke up veeeerrrrry early this morning. so naturally, i woke up tired and behind "schedule." (* note to self: ask flylady if it's even possible to have a schedule with 3 children under the age of 6.) I'll try to make a long story short and just list the highlights of our day... ~ The girls were both very excited to start school today. We made them Good Morning Sheets (Chore Charts) of things they need to get done before school starts at 9:30. They fairly flew through all the chores! ~ I was a little frazzled because I usually get most of my routine done before they wake up (except for my early morning riser, Emma - she's usually with me). ~ We actually did start school 'on time.' We took 1st day of school pictures, put away our new school supplies, sat down at the table to start our work, and THEN the electricity goes out for about 45 mins. ~ I got out the oil lamp and opened all the shades and we did writing in the half light....that was kind of fun until the smell started making me dizzy and Adalyn thirsty. ~ Poopy diaper. ~ Open fridge to put away Kaylee's juice, close fridge real fast so as not to let out all the cool air, spill leftover peach smoothie inside fridge, decide to clean it later so everything in fridge won't ruin. ~ Finish writing lessons. ~ Convince Emma that she CAN write a letter "B." ~ Spat Kaylee for throwing chalk. ~ Start Math with Adalyn. ~ "Look, Mommy, I did it!" Congratulate Emma for writing a whole row of "B"s. ~ We were starting to get a little warm so, I was about to pack up a few things and head elsewhere... ~ Electricity back on! ~ Potty break. Need drinks. ~ Start back on math lessons. ~ adalyn: when do we get to do all the fun reading? ~ Spank Kaylee for eating dried beans off of bean counting sticks. ~ me: how many cents are in one dollar? adalyn: 100. me: which is more? one dollar or 78 cents? adalyn: 78 cents! me: how many cents are in 78 cents? adalyn: i don't know.... me: how many cents are in one dollar? adalyn: 100? me: how many cents are in 78 cents? adalyn: i don't know. i can't figure that out! me: how many cents are in one penny? adalyn: (rolling eyes) one. me: how many in 2 pennies? adalyn (rolling eyes) two. me: how many cents are in one quarter? adalyn: 25. me: how many in one dollar? adalyn: 100. how many in 78 cents? adalyn: (pause, thinking, lightbulb!) 78! me: so which is more? one dollar or 78 cents? adalyn: one dollar!  ~ Back to lessons. ~ adalyn: when are we going to do art? ~ emma: what can i do now mommy? ~ Finish lessons while Kaylee tears up the rest of the room. ~ adalyn: when are we going to have science? ~ Clean up from Kaylee's tornado. ~ Clean up peach smoothie out of fridge. ~ For lunch we got out all the leftovers from last week and warmed it in the microwave. ~ Kaylee still had a few bites left so, I left her at the table alone. I heard her fussing and by the time I got in there (just a few seconds later), her eyes were closed and her head was rolling. It really scared me (I even checked her pulse) until I remembered that she didn't get much sleep last night. Poor baby. Whew! Now I need some chocolate or a coke or maybe a nap! Hopefully the rest of our week will seem humdrum compared to today! I'll post pictures later! |
