Well, school has started and it's the 3rd week. AJ is in first grade and is loving it and doing so well. He loves school and all that school entails! Jack is in kindergarten and is getting in trouble a lot. Poor baby. He's struggling with keeping his hands to himself and being impulsive. I knew this would happen. I thought I was prepared, but I'm not. It hurts me to see him getting in trouble. Yesterday we got home from school and I sat down to talk to him and just started crying. I didn't feel good either, so I'm chalking some of that emotion to that. Jack just looked at me with his big beautiful blue eyes and started crying too. He said he's so sorry but he just doesn't understand how to act. He said everyone hates him and he's sad. I lost it. I hugged him as tight as I could. I explained to him that we all love him very much and that is why we are trying to correct him now. I know he will eventually get it all, but this process is hard... for me... and him... Even AJ started crying and told Jack that he loves him. It's just hard to adjust to new stuff and new people and new procedures and rules. He can do it and so can I. We will work as hard as we can. I feel like I have lots of things I need to change/add to be a better mom. I love Jack so much, as all of you moms know...
Please God give me the strength, patience, consistency, courage and energy to handle whatever you have in store for Jack. He is the most passionate person I know. Help me Lord to help him use that passion for his benefit. In your name...amen.
