back to school...

today is his 3rd day back and i am so happy for him! he is one of the older kids in the class which will be new for him. for the first 2 years of life, matt was called "baby matt" by so many people b/c he always seemed to be the youngest. but now he is a big brother and one of the older kids in his class so things are changing.

the transition back to school has been okay, he is so excited to be back in general. but i think he is still just adjusting to it all. he was really cranky yesterday when we got home and it took us awhile to settle into things. but then he did okay. so i'm hoping after a week or two, he will be good again.

school is so good for him, it gives him such focus and stimulation. last week was so rough and i really think it was b/c matt just didn't have enough activity. he gets SO CRAZY cooped up inside. it was just too hot to play outside and there was only so much i could do to entertain the kid and still work and take care of emmie. i love love love what going to school does for him!!

and i'm still in awe by what a great big brother he is. i am so happy when i see the two of them together! they both just light up when they see each other. they love to hold hands in the car... so sweet! both mike and i had rocky relationships with our brothers growing up so we really want more than anything to have our babies be friends. i know it's early, but we are off to a good start. i feel like i do so many wrong things as a mom, it's nice to see positives come out. must be doing some things right!

i am so tired today and it is only tuesday! really hope this week is calmer... and i hope i can get some rest before the weekend cuz dh is working the cops beat which means noon til midnight!! UGH! really hope he can get a new job soon with normal hours...
