Nathan and Ryan both started their first week of school last Monday. They both go 5 days a week all day now. Nathan was just going Monday - Wednesday 8-12 and Ryan stayed home with me this past year so they've both had a few adjustments. I've started working part time in the mornings and doing chores/bookkeeping in the afternoon. So far they both boys seem to enjoy school. When I walk in to go get Nathan, he runs to me screaming "Mommy!" and gives me a big leg hug. Ryan always seems happy when I pick him up in the afternoon but has a few problems in the morning. He goes easily to his teachers, but when he sees me leaving he starts to cry. The biggest change for Ryan is going from 2 - 2 hr naps to just one 1.5 hr nap a day. The first day, he was bathed, fed and sleeping by 7 pm - he usually doesn't go to bed till 7:45. We have started doing bath a little earlier because he is usually ready for bed around 7:15 now. Nathan has also had to get used to taking a nap on a pallet and has also had to get used to taking a shorter nap.
We've all also had to get used to a new morning schedule/routine. Jason and I both have to make sure Ryan gets his morning bottle and give both Nathan and Ryan breakfast and have both boys dressed and ready to leave no later than 7:30. So, we are still working on getting both our morning and evening schedule adjusted. I'm sure in another week it will all be worked out.
