Kids went back to school!

Cartoon by Randy Bish
Yes, its true. We have decided to put the kids back in school. We found a lovely little school near our house that offers some wonderful learning opportunities for the kids. They are taught sign language, Spanish (Cody was learning Japanese symbols last week), computer skills and they even have a water park to play in once a week. I couldn't ask for more in a school (other than for it to be cheaper!)...but it is well worth the price!

The teachers send home notes each day/week to give us updates on their progress. Abby is doing great and this week she is learning to be potty trained...they are taking her to the potty every 30 minutes. She did great today - only one accident - and it was only because she forgot to pull her panties down when she sat on the potty.

Cody seems to have a harder time in the morning when we are leaving. He gets fussy and whiny. It seems like forever until he lets go of us so we can slip out, but he still cries every morning. We were getting there right when they transitioned to the cafeteria for breakfast. That just seemed to make it worse, so we are now taking him to class early so he can transition with his classmates. Hopefully he will get through this phase soon. It breaks my heart to hear him call out for us as we are leaving.

The great thing about this school is that it offers internet monitoring....that means I can log in and watch them in their class, in the cafeteria, on the playground, etc. It is awesomely addictive! : )
