Tomorrow, our boy will turn 5 years old! I can't believe how fast the time has gone already. He will also be riding the school bus for kindergarten orientation- the bus will pick up the children and drop them off at school to meet their teacher and get a feel for what the first day of school will be like. He did give me a hard time about riding the bus to school, he told me "It freaks me out *his hands waving all about*!". I asked what the issue was and he doesn't like the fact that the stop sign attached to the bus goes in and out..of all people, Jake, afraid of a SIGN! But after heading to the school last week to drop off paperwork, he was able to take a little tour and to see his new class (which was his class from last year), and to talk to the teacher next door who happened to get him all excited about riding the bus (we also took out books from the library about the bus and first day of school). After the bus ride Nana, Grammy, and Grampy will stay and have pizza and cake to celebrate his big day.
Thursday will be Jake's first day of school. Lets keep our fingers crossed that he has a good day!
(Because of his allergy to peanut oil, his class will be labeled an "awareness zone". Although he does not eat peanut butter, he will break out in hives if he comes in contact with peanut butter/peanut shells).
Saturday will be the big event. Again, lets keep our fingers crossed that he has a good day! (Reference the picture of him scowling at Steven's birthday party if you are wondering why I say this..."not so nice Jake" has been visiting more often).
Sunday we will probably be be heading to the fair!
Oh, and yeah, I did cut his hair a little too short! Ooops. He got me back though by peeing in the tub while Kaleb was playing in the water. Then Kaleb got me as I was draining the water- I noticed little specs floating in the water...yeah..he pooped in the bath!! It was gross...especially because he was in one of those tub seats and it was flattened down like a pancake!!
Today we went to Stevens birthday party at Kids Rule. It is an indoor inflatable playground where the kids could jump around on 4 different play stations. Jake was good for the first hour and a half and then had his little "attitude" after one of the instructors said he was not allowed on one of the stations because he was under 6. Oh, there was no turning back after that! He wanted to "go home"...he "quit"...he "pouted"...he "shooed" people away...and he "growled". *SIGH*. Thank you instructor lady. Anyway, he refused to come into the party room for cupcakes, juice, and presents so we apologized to Sue and said our goodbyes. Then as we walk out the door, he wants to stay and we get the "I am not going to be bad". Sorry...enough embarrassment for Mommy and Daddy today. We left..and he had a nice lecture on the way home about being disrespectful- he also spent sometime in his room. (He fell asleep about 45 minutes after getting home....).
