Miss me

Nathan, Clayton, and I were all sitting at the table doing some workbooks that you get at the store to practice letters, sight words, etc. I'm trying to get them into the groove of school. We have less than two weeks now until school starts. Clayton looks up from his book and says "Mommy, I'm really gonna miss you when I go to school." Melt my stinkin' heart. It was so sweet. I told him "I'm gonna miss you too." I'm kinda excited because I'm pretty sure Kindergarten here is only half a day. Sending Nathan away for a whole day in Kindergarten was tough. For some reason, with as small as Clayton is, it is a little tougher. No matter where we go, everyone guesses he is about 3. I hope he has an excellent experience. I have a feeling he will get into more trouble, because he talks too much (no, I have no idea where he gets it).
Nathan is ready for 1st grade and is getting kinda excited. He says he's ready to do all the fun things, but he doesn't wanna have to write all the letters. Gotta get used to it.
A huge relief was lifted off of me today. I went up to the school to find out about registering the boys for school. I was scared because Nathan only finished 4 and 1/2 of the 6 six weeks, I thought he might have to take a placement test or something and (not knowing what they expect a to-be1st grader to know) I was really scared. I was so relieved when the secretary at the school told me they place them according to their age at this point. I felt wonderful!!
To wrap this up, I know there will be a day when they won't really miss me, but for now, it is the best feeling in the world.

One more thing, I gave Caleb a jar of peas about 2 weeks ago and he did not like them. I decided to wait and give him some different veggies and then try again. So, today we tried again and he made the cutest yucky face, he kinda looked down and would close his eyes and shake his head back and forth. To me it's not really a big deal because I never buy green peas (I absolutely hate the taste of them too). It did bring back some childhood memories of having to sit at the table until all my peas were gone (such mean parents I had). Nowadays, if a kid doesn't like something, a whole new meal is made. I rock it oldschool, if you don't eat what I made, you get nothing else (I'm such a mean mommy). Luckily I've taught my kids to not be SO picky. There are very few things they won't eat.
That's all for now.
