OK…obviously it has been a coons age since I updated our blog! I am resolved to do better; especially since most of our family lives out of town! I was going batty trying to figure out ways to stay in touch and update everyone, which brought me back to the blog.
Update: Jackson is almost 3 and half now. We are only beginning to understand how time sure does fly! He’s quite a debater and often challenging, but fun as heck! As you might imagine, between Franz and I, he talks quite a bit. He keeps us on our tows and reminds us often of our own shortcomings.
At the end of the school year (May 28th) Jackson finished at Hope Montessori. After a short hometown vacation, he began summer school at St. John’s (Ellisville, MO) on June 7th. (http://www.stjohnslutheranschool.org/) As parents, I experienced those twinges of anxiety as I was not sure how he was going to handle the change. The good news is that a month later he is doing great!! Seems to really like his new school, and is fitting in quite well. However, I have both a husband and a son who do not deal well with change! (Laughing) The first few weeks were dicey, but with the help of VBS week – he decided it was a place he wanted to stay.
The first day of school, after he packed his own lunch, I heard him in the living room crunching his chips bag. I immediately thought, “oh no…not chips for breakfast!” As I made my way to the living room I slowed down to try to catch him in the act; however, to my surprise he was not trying to eat the chips. In stead he was trying to stuff his dog pal Murphy, along with his blanket, into his lunch box. When I asked him what he was up to he replied, “I need to take Murphy and Blankie with me to protect my food!” What a kid!
