Wesley Academy

Yesterday started the new chapter for the boys, attending Wesley Academy.

It was quite interesting getting a picture of the two boys before we left the house, bright and early. 

The best one that we could got. 

We have to leave super early in the mornings, 6 am, to beat the traffic before mommy has to be there at 7:30. Once we arrived at school the boys wanted to play in mommy's room and started throwing stacking things all over the room. (Mommy learned her lesson and now brings our breakfast to eat once we are there, leaving little free time before we go to our classes.)

We dropped Tucker off at his class first and he walked right in and starting playing with the home center and talking on the phone. He is loving his teacher, Ms. LeBlanc, and is already learning so much, even though we are only on day 2 now. 

Griffin had a much harder time leaving Mommy. Ms. Melanie took him from Mommy and he adjusted very quickly. Mommy was told he didn't cry too long and is now attached to her. His teachers are very impressed with how well he communicates with them and how much he eats. He loves it when Mommy comes to pick him up in the afternoons.

Books

Griffin's latest obsession is books. He wants to sit and read books, one, two, three, or even four times through before getting another one.

One of his favorites is this book. He loves to pull down the flaps inside all by himself and make the noises that some of the animals make in the story.

He was very fussy tonight, we couldn't figure out why, and the only thing that calmed him down was Mommy reading to him. I read him one book and asked him to bring me the book that says "I wrote to the zoo to send me a pet, they sent me an Elephant, he was too big, so I sent him back." He went to dig in the book box and brought me the story I asked for.

Maybe this is common with 17 month olds but I'm not too sure.
