Sick Again!

Aidan was sick again last week, fortunately his only lasted a weekend and another Monday missed from still having a fever. He is all better now. However the cold was passed along to me, Daddy & Skylar who is still sick as we all got better.

Last Tuesday night was Aidan's first open house. They divided the night into 2 different time slots back to back for 40 minutes a slot. However, I think all parents for Aidan's class showed up in the first 40 minute time slot like I did, and we stayed the whole hour and a half. I was the first one there and the last one to leave :) It was cute. The class was set up all nice and we had a "scavenger hunt" when we walked in so our child could show us around the room and to each station and tell us a little bit about what they do during the day. Needless to say, I just walked around and looked at everything and would ask Aidan what is this for? And he was so excited just to show me all the kids in his class that I couldn't get much out of him. Joe was out of town working unfortunately so he didn't get to go. I had to take Skylar with me and she was QUITE the typical two year old running around touching everything. It was so hard to listen to what Aidan's teacher wanted to say because I was trying to keep an eye on Skylar while she was at a coloring station with other children and Aidan was a hyper talkative little boy who kept trying to tell me things. I was irritated at the "announcement" on video as soon as we "the parents" got into the classroom. We were all made to sit and watch a 10-15 minutes presentation on a video made for us about voting in November and what it means for school funding. I'm not saying it isn't important, but I'm here tonight in a very short amount of time to learn about my child's progression in school and what they have been working on plus any questions I may have, not to spend 15 minutes I'll never get back being kidnapped and FORCED to watch politicians speak.

We were informed that their first field trip in coming up. They are going to a farm/petting zoo place in the first week of October. I can't wait! I will not be able to chaperone this time since I will have Skylar but My sister is going in my place. I should say this now how much better I feel knowing that someone I know & trust will be with him while he is away. Plus she can take lots of pictures for me :)

I can't wait to post those pictures!
