now Ashton knows what he has gotten himself into and this morning when I came to get him up he was awake but I think he thought if he just stayed put I would forget that he was going to school too and leave without him. Not so, I got him up and he cried and told me he did not want to go to school. Sierra was also in tears but at least she was getting ready and trying to put on a brave face. ME, I was ready to pull my hair out!
We made it out of the house and both of them actually ate a little bit of a nectarine on the way to school. Tears had subsided and we took Sierra to her class first and she put on a brave face holding back the tears as she gave a kiss and said goodbye. I took Ashton and just sat with him until morning meeting started and then he let me go.
Last night for FHE I taught a lesson out of the Friend, "Things will get better" and after school Ashton was so happy and said that today was better then yesterday. YAY, see things will get better. Sierra's day was good but still struggling with being away from me and trying to cope with being back at school with a girl who has been mean to her. She kept saying today, "mom, I know things will get better." :)

Oh those sweet kids. It's a sign of a good home that they don't want to leave it to go to school. Then there are my kids who ask why they can't go to daycare. OY!
Awww, bless their little hearts... But gosh, you have taught them to be brave already - what an awesome quality for them to have so young! Good for them! And it really WILL get better! (and you are so patient!!!)
