Cale is going to be starting 2 days of full days of preschool August 21! I have so many mixed emotions about this and am sure I will be a crying mess when we drop him off on his first day. He is excited though-wants to go shopping for his backpack and school supplies. He is such an amazing kid and we love him dearly and can't wait to see how he likes school.
I will say though that we are definitely going through a stage of testing with him right now. Everything is a question or an argument and some days it is just completely mentally exhausting for Jeff and me! It's amazing to me too sometimes how he knows the right thing to do, but yet chooses to do the opposite. Wow, this parenting thing is hard. I think the hardest thing right now is just not giving in when we're tired of arguing and being consistent. He's also already pitting us against each other-if me or Jeff say no, then he goes to the other parent and of course we ask what did mommy or daddy say!
He has a sticker chart for good behavior, helping with chores and listening. He has done pretty good with it and overall he's a great kid. It's just some days cloud the others because they are so mentally exhausting. But overall, he's a true joy-sweet with his brother, likes to help clean around the house, smiley, and a great snuggler! These awesome things far outweigh the mentally exhausting days anytime!
Oh-and I love the way he says milkshakes-"shakemilks" Cracks me up everytime!
