First day of school

I'm a bit late posting about the first day of school. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the whole taking care of a newborn thing.

Cooper started Kindergarten this year. He is in one of the afternoon classes. I am super happy he goes in the afternoon. He gets on the bus at 12:15, right outside our house, how convenient, huh? After that I am able to get Shiloh down for a nap and have a few quiet, uninterrupted hours to myself to get homework and house work done. Yes, I started school this week. I'm only taking one-two credit class though, so it shouldn't be too bad with a newborn.

Cooper has done pretty well with the adjustment. He has had a few rough times though. Last Thursday he was crying when he got off the bus. Then Monday as soon as the bus pulled up, he dropped his backpack to the ground, said he didn't want to go, and ran back in our house. I had to puuulllllll him out from behind our couch, carry him out to the bus, lug his heavy self up the bus stairs, sit him down in an empty seat, hugs kisses, love you's,yadda yadday, then walk off the bus, hoping and praying he didn't run after me. Thankfully he didn't, and has gotten on the bus every day since then like a pro. He still tells me he doesn't want to go because he'll miss me, but I make him go anyway. Mean mom right here!

Mason started 2nd grade. So far he seems to really like his class, his classmates, and his teacher.

Shiloh had to have her picture taken too. And she is pretty cute, so Jeff didn't say no.
