After a super busy week and a traveling weekend, Lex surprised me by going to school happily on Monday morning.\u00a0 He was eager to show off his new lunch box carrier.\u00a0 Monday night he went to bed saying he was too tired to go to school on Tuesday, but he woke up this morning and remembered it was library day and went to school.\u00a0 I thought things were going well, but then he came home with this:<\/p>\n

\"frowny<\/a><\/p>\n

His teacher sends home a chart every day with a smiley, “straight” face, or frowny.\u00a0 So far he has always gotten a smiley and only twice before has he ever received a “code.”\u00a0 Codes give the parents more info on why the kids got less than a smiley.\u00a0 Every day after school I ask if he had a good day and every day he says “Yes, I did!”\u00a0 One day he even said, “Mom, you don’t have to ask me, I always have a good day.”\u00a0 Today after school when I asked the usual question he said, “Oh, I don’t think so,” followed quickly by “but don’t look at my chart today.”\u00a0 Of course I looked!<\/p>\n

He had a dentist appointment after school and was very nervous about it.\u00a0 I think that combined with the busy weekend caught up to him in school.\u00a0 I was happy he was doing well and made it to school, but perhaps he would have done better taking a day off.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 You just never know with kids.<\/p>\n

After the dentist we ran a few errands, including a trip to the toy store to buy a birthday present for a party this weekend, and the kids were both super well behaved!\u00a0 Then we came home, had dinner at 4:30, bath, stories, and bed.\u00a0 They were both asleep by 6:15pm!\u00a0 Yay!\u00a0 Hopefully that helps make tomorrow a better day at school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
