Dropping Out of Kindergarten

Josh decided that two days of kindergarten was enough for him. I had to pretty much drag him back today. Literally. It wasn't pretty. The main reason he hates it, he informs me, is that they made him play Duck, Duck, Goose yesterday. And he didn't want to. He didn't want to chase anybody. And they might make him play again if he goes back. He wouldn't get his shoes on, wouldn't get in the car, tried to climb back in the car when we got there, and wouldn't let go of my leg. His teacher came and took him from me, so he did go in, crying. We'll see how he is feeling when I pick him up, but I'm envisioning the next 13 years of fighting this kid on going to school. Heaven help me, I need a margarita.



I've been going through pictures and albums and trying to organize a giant hacking mess (as Britt would say) and came across that sweet pic. I love it. Also love this one.



Took the boat out tubing yesterday. We let Courtney's boyfriend come with us. Sean likes him OK, as much as he can like any teenage boy that wants to date his daughter. Sean got out there on the tube with him while I drove. I flipped Sean off (of the tube, not sign language) and tried to flip her boyfriend off, but he held on too tight. So Sean pushed him off. LOL Maybe that was a sign. He won't clean his shotgun when you show up to pick up his daughter, but he may shove you off a tube in the middle of Pineview.

Seriously, Brittany? You think it's that horrible? I'm sure your mom has other pictures of you that are way worse than that one. LOL You and your dad? That's a cute one!
Sorry about josh. I think this far into the school year I would have let the kid sit outside the duck duck goose circle until he felt a little more comfortable. That's JMO. But, why torture a kid during the first week of his entire life of school?

I hope Josh decides school isn't so bad. Sounds like you are having a good summer.
