AMAZING what structure and school can do for my boy Today was his first day in the eighth grade and OMG how much he has been stressing bout not wanting to go back to school. At the moment his mattress is in our room due to the construction and he is out a room for a bit. So I hear Colin trying to get him up and Chris is down right mad that today is school. So Chris climbs into bed with me, as i was just getting up and he says oh so nice, "Mom House" I looked at him and said so nicely "No Chris, School today" OMG LOLOLOL he got right up and stumped around. I just got up and said get dressed, which he did not happily I might add LOL. Bus came I said k, Chris Bus and he got up looking a bit sad but got up and walked out to the bus. I waved he left and Man I was doing a dance, both kids back in school LOLOL He only has half day today and tomorrow, how his school starts out every year. So the bus pulls up about 1 pm and OMG he is ;D from ear to ear and oh so happy ;D He shows me the new book bag the school gave him and told me he was now "Up Stairs" you have to know Chris but this was a BIGGY for him to share bout school. I am excited that this year will be much better then last OMG his teach last year was Hmmm lets say NOT one anyone would want. He will still do academics BUT this year he will also go off campus as part of the work program and honestly I think this will be a GREAT thing for him ;D

Since he had half day no lunch at school so I said hey Chris you want to go out for eggs with me and he was so excited and Man can I tell you he and I just had the BEST time ;D Then after lunch we did a little shopping and OMG he was the BEST at this point I was like Hmmmm is this my Chris LOLOL He also had his Tae Kwon Do class tonight and he always fights us bout going then loves it BUT tonight no fight Hmmm Came home and he put his whole lunch together in his lunch box and just beamed and said "School" ;D Sadly he doesn't have lunch again at school tomorrow BUT Man Colin and I were so pleased to see him so happy bout School. The kid has truly stressed most the summer bout going back and at least for the moment is OK with it Not sure if the meds are helping yet but at this point I am not questioning it, just happy he is happy So all in all a GREAT first day back to school.

Kodi Lee started her senior year on Wednesday and just loving it ;D Today got her parking spot, as she now drives herself to school and just loving the independence and honestly both Colin and I are loving that we don't have to drive her

So today was a GREAT day and way over due if I say so myself

If you read all this to you.

I agree CC..........no questions, just very HAPPY that Chris is so happy at school! That sure makes it easier to get through the day without worrying about them! I hope the whole year goes this well!!! I didn't realize that Chris and Emily are both in 8th grade. Here's to AWESOME 8th grade years for both!

Thanks Gals and I am so HAPPY to report day 2 was just as GREAT as day 1 Now if this will just keep up for Hmm how many school days in a school year Hmm LOLOL

Yup Susan, Chris is in the 8th grade although his school being its a private one doesn't refer to their classes in numbers like the public school does but 8th grade is what he would be in if going to the public school. His class this year is actually referred to as Pre Vocational I.

CC, glad to hear that Chris is liking school this year. Courtney is in the 8th grade this year and is definatly not liking it. One day she refused to go saying she was sick, the next day she would not get out of the car and go inside. We did finally talk her into it. She was the same last year as well. She also only goes to school a half a day and the second half of the day she goes to a program that teaches life skills and they also work on community integration. She seems to do ok once we get her there. It's just getting her there and into the school.
I hope things keep going well for you and Chris.
