Back to School

This week was "Back to School" week for Mr. Brody. He is back at Gingerbread on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but he is in a new class with 32 kids and 5 teachers. Thankfully two of the teachers he knows pretty well and there were 4 kids from his class when he was an Elf. We were a little worried about how it would go after the experience at "Meet the Teacher" day when he told Bumpy that he didn't want to be a Giant and that he wanted to go. They stayed for less than 10 minutes. To know Brody is to know that change + meeting new people = unhappy camper. Thankfully it wasn't that bad. Yes, the teacher did have to pry him out of my arms and carry him into the classroom crying. Yes, when I picked him up the teacher told me he had cried at different times throughout the day and asked for him momma on numerous ocassions. But, when he got in the car it wasn't like he said he hated it. The only story he told me was that Ethan had pooped in his pants. But that he didn't cry and it didn't get in his pants...only his underwear! After picking out his own clothes. I hate that the shadow ruined my picture.

Meg was super excited for him

After a long day at school he still had the energy to take his girlfriend Kennedy for a ride around the neighborhood on his 4-wheeler and I got sad thinking of him potentially having a real girlfriend on the back of a motorcycle in 12 or so years!
