Week Two of School...We Survived....BARELY!

So here we are, it is Saturday and we survived the second week of school. In some ways it is getting easier, in other ways it is getting harder!

Christopher has adjusted to school VERY well. He loves it! He comes home and tells me all about his day. He loves his teacher, he loves the bus, he loves pretty much everything about it! He gets up in the morning excited to go for another day. It has been a relief and a blessing to have him so happy about it all! He has come home every day but one on green. (For those who don't know what that is, it means he made good choices at school and had a good day. There is green, yellow and red.) Yesterday he came home on yellow. He was NOT happy about that at all! But I think he will keep trying and doing well at school!

Caitlin has had a harder time. I have put her on the bus crying several days since school started. It breaks my heart, but I know I need to do it. I know she stops crying pretty fast. ( I asked the bus driver about it!) She is not really talking to us about school. We ask her and we get nothing back from her. She also started having accidents at school. So much so that we went to the doctor to have her checked for a UTI. I really think she is having a hard time dealing with the stress of not having me or her brother around all day. She seems to have a much harder time functioning without Christopher. I worry about her. She did actually talk to us about school on Thursday and Friday. So that is an improvement! She had two bad days though too, one on yellow and one on red. I am hoping that we have made the turn now though and that things will get better! She got on the bus every day this week but Monday without tears. And Wed, Thrus and Fri, she actually hopped on the bus and smiled and waved at me! I'll take that any day of the week!

As for me, I am slowly trying to adjust to life at home without the twins. It is so quiet here. I have yet to find a real routine, but hope that in the next few weeks I will. I have been slowly turning the house upside down trying to get it all organized and together. I guess you always need chaos before you can get things settled and organized, right?

And just because, here are a few pictures of the twins! Enjoy and have a great weekend!
