Getting Into School Mode

Bobby's adjusting to the 2nd grade very well...so far.  He gets ready with no problem, goes to the car with no problem, gets out of the car at school with no problem, walks into the school with no problem and goes off with Ms. Kim with no problem.   I am so incredible beyond grateful that this is the case.  He even went to therapy today after school with no problem!!  I was elated when we turned onto the road towards therapy and he didn't fuss, whine, kick, grunt!!  When I pulled into the parking space, he unbuckled his seat belt, put on his shoes (Crocs), got out, took my hand and walked right on into the office.  This was not the case just a couple of months ago.  I pray, pray, and pray some more that this routine continues.  Not much else going on while we get back into the groove of our school routine.  

Bobby (wearing Daddy's work hat):  "I want to be a judge for the mine rescue team competition.  Daddy gets to have all of the fun!!  Plus, I really know how to rock this hat!!"  

Bobby hasn't spent much time in our pool in the past few weeks, but he made up for it this weekend.  Played in the water for 4 hours Saturday alone.

Zoi watching out the window:  "That boy gets to have all of the fun!!  Woof Woof."

I made some spicy Asian noodles and Bobby sat down, picked up a fork and...

Two things that you should know about Bobby:  1) He doesn't use utensils, he eats only finger foods.  2)  He doesn't eat pasta or any other soft foods.  So imagine my surprise when he sat down, twirled noodles on a fork and put it up to his mouth.

My excitement ended soon after he started letting the noodles fall in front of his eyes and using the noodles as a sensory play thing rather than food.  He did get one noodle in his mouth, but he pulled it out onto the plate.  Maybe next time he will actually take a bite.

Time for our school night routine:  Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, bath, brush teeth and wind down for bed.  Hopefully it will be an uneventful evening!!!
