Now by the end of the week, Jake seems to have adjusted to his full mornings. He stopped yawning in the car after pick-up and complained less about being tired. His cold is better and his naps are back to normal length. He brought home a special school bag with some of his work and hopefully sometime over the weekend he'll want to show it to us. He threw the bag down on arriving home and hasn't looked at it since. I peeked while he was napping and it has little envelopes marked "Jake's cuttings" full of tiny pieces of paper, 2 water colored half circles, and one big multi-colored crayon drawing. They also included a packet of his school picture, which was taken on Tues. and Mike was relieved to hear I thought they were pretty awful. I was hoping it would be a group shot, but it's just a portrait. Not only are the expressions bad but the lighting was terrible and they are fuzzy. Clearly, we don't need to purchase those!
Still, it was a good end to a very special week for all of us. Jake and Mike are now used to getting up at 6:30 and getting out of the door by 8. I am loving my quiet time from 8 to 9 am and so look forward to pick-ups at noon, where I see my boy glowing and smiling and he climbs into the car and talks nonstop with excitement all the way home. We LIKE school!
