"Little Bit Boring"

That was Mallori's response to "how was your first day." The most fun thing she did was recess. She didn't get to go to computer lab. She went to PE before music. Music was boring. She played blocks in the classroom. This was my first 20 minute conversation with her.... that's all I got!! After some probing, thanks to my interviewing class in college (ha!), I got some more detailed answers.

She had a little mishap at lunch. (I took a video of me "interviewing her" so you could hear it from her but it doesn't seem to be working on here. I don't think the movie format is compatible.) Basically, what happened is this. We told Mallori to put her lunch kit in the wrong spot. We later told her to move it but she didn't hear/didn't pay attention. So, her teacher didn't know she had a lunch and sent her to the cafeteria line. I'm sure at this point, everyone saw Malloir's true colors! She sometimes doesn't know how to handle a plan change! She made it though and we made sure to send her some lunch money today!

She also got lost at one point. From what I can get from her, her name tag fell off at recess. She ended up with another little girl's tag. She realized when she ended up in the wrong class. She must have kept her cool though. She acted like it was no big deal when she told me about it. She said "I told them my teacher was Mrs. West."

She played with Makayla on the playground, built a house out of blocks with Jason, and shook the puppet's hand in music. She didn't get to stand up and say her name in PE because they didn't pass the ball to her, but Coach Sherman did ask her how her brother was. That doesn't sound like a very boring day to me!!She also did good today. From what I can tell, she didn't have any major hiccups! She got to go to computer lab and played with Kenley on the playground. She was very proud to show off her math and science work and her purple school bus that she colored. She actually stayed in the lines!!! Nana said Mallori was excited when she dropped her off. She's been extremely exhausted when she comes home. She even took a 30 minute nap when she got to Nana's because Nana couldn't keep her awake! We'll have to see how that goes and how early she gets to sleep tonight. She is already in bed but it usually takes her a while to go to sleep. She's a little night owl who typically doesn't require sleep!

By the way. For those of you that don't have kids in school. It's expensive! School clothes, school supplies (which we completely lucked out on and didn't have to buy much of either). Now it's the Paw Pack and soccer. She wants to do both, of course, what kid wouldn't?!? The Paw Pack is pretty neat. You pay $10 and they get to run through the football tunnel after the players and cheer. You get a shirt out of the deal too..... I just don't know if Mallori would do it in front of all of the people!

On another note: Jace is extremely jealous right now! He's taken to being mean to get attention. He didn't like Sissy being the center of attention all day for everyone yesterday! Today was better though so maybe there's no lasting damage!!!!!

Tomorrow is a new day... we'll see how it goes!
