Jesse is going to be in Miss Dana's class in the fall! He had his "audition" yesterday. I was afraid he would cry when he had to leave Josh. He did balk a bit but didn't cry. I had warned Miss Dana about it so she knew to just get him away and down the hallway quickly. Later he told me how much fun he had, and was especially impressed by the puzzles. Later we got an email from Miss Dana who said:
Jesse did great today - 3 seconds of nerves quickly disappeared and turned into a lot of talking and excitement! The other teachers, who had never met Jesse besides when getting Jocelyn out of the car in the morning, were very impressed by his enthusiasm and happiness. I told them that I'm pretty sure Jocelyn & Jesse are the happiest kids in the world. I'm sure they have their moments at home, but in my experience with them they are very very happy children! Jocelyn was so sweet afterwards when I told her what a great big sister she is - she said, "Yeah, I told him this would be the most fun ever!"
Jocelyn is sad that she'll be leaving Miss Dana's class. We picked up the kindergarten registration packet this week. We have to actually go get a birth certificate for her - whoops! The rest is pretty easy to fill out and due by the end of April. She'll have a day in May to visit the classroom and then a bus ride in June. Our neighbor across the street is in AM kindergarten this year so we're guessing Jocelyn will be in AM too. So that means that next year we will have 4 kids in 4 different schools! 3 bus schedules plus a drop off/pick up schedule! 4 open houses! 4 sets of fundraisers - ack!
Last night I had a dream I was standing in line at some counter. A very long line that wasn't moving. We were all filling out never ending forms. I woke up and realized I totally forgot to renew my license last month! So I headed down the AAA this morning. The clerk was an older guy - a little round, a little bald, but very cheery! We chatted while he entered everything into the computer. He asked what I did, I told him I'm an actuary. "Oh WOW!" he says. "I took accounting classes in college but accountants are like here (holds hand chest high) and actuaries are way up here (reaches up on tip toes)!" He cracked me up. When we reviewed the info on the license, he says "this says you're 5'5", have hazel eyes, are an organ donor, in a good mood, happy and smart, and having a good hair day - is that about right?" It's just great when people love their jobs.
Timothy got an award for academic excellence in one of his classes this week. I keep forgetting to ask him to see it. It sounded like it was just something they do each month - like a student of the month for a specific class kind of thing. I don't think it comes with any cash or anything - haha.
I guess no news on Morgan this week. Maybe no news is good news!
