Wesley's First Day of School

Well, Wesley had his first day of school Wednesday. He will go 3 days a week Monday,Wednesday,& Friday from 9 to 1. It's at a Methodist church here in town. I was nervous at first because I wasn't sure how he would act when we left him. I was afraid he would cry for a long time. When we got there, he was a little apprehensive at first. He went to the door at one point and said he wanted to leave here. But was soon fine after that and went and sat down at the table with the other kids and did a puzzle. I quickly told him bye and told him I would be back to pick him up in just a little bit. We like both his teachers, Mrs. Maria(Rhea)most of the kids can't pronounce it, and her assistant, Mrs. Laura. His class has 9 kids in it, which I love. The more attention they all can get. When I picked him up he was real excited and said "mommy,mommy." They said he did real good and he didn't cry at all. I was so happy. He really enjoyed it and is looking forward to going tomorrow.

They have canceled some schools in our area because of the "slight chance" of some accumulation of flurries. I told Wesley if they canceled, then he wouldn't be able to go to school. He then said, "I'm so mad that they cancelled some of the schools." Mark and I just started laughing.

We are just taking this school thing one step at a time. We really don't want our boys to go to public schools and feel very strongly about that. However,once in kindergarten, it would be really expensive to go to a christian school, like $3000 to $4000 a year per child. We have talked about and considered homeschooling but haven't decided yet. I guess we'll just have to take it one day at a time.
