A is for APPLE

JG is learning his letters at school, and his teachers are awesome! He comes home with a new little song everyday, can now say the Hail Mary, Our Father, and Blessing before meals with no help, and can tell me what everything in the church is (because they use maps and go in the church to learn about it.)  And tells me he is going to "bake ood deeeecisions"  Make good decisions for those of you who dont speak 3 year old.  He loves school now, and I can barely get a kiss from him in the mornings on his way to his classroom.  SO GLAD!  After weeks of "heeeelllppp meeee" on our way to school.  He also wants to read the kissing hand every night, which I love that book so it works our well.
Cutest 3 year old ever?? I think so:)!

Kissing Hand

So, yesterday was officially a very hard day for my PreK JG.  His teachers say he is the youngest in the class, and having the hardest time being away from his mama.  My office is literally steps away from him classroom, and he has spent 3 years at work with me.  I thought this would make the transition easier, but I was wrong.  His teacher sent home a book called the "Kissing Hand" yesterday and we read it last night.  It is really cute and about a Raccoon who misses his mama when he goes to school.  Did it help??  Not this morning.  As the teacher had to pry my screaming "help me mama" child off of me, it made me incredibly sad.  If I didnt know that he was in the best hands he could possibly be in I would be more worried.  But one of the teachers has a daughter in my youth group, and the other has been a K teacher for 18 years and I have heard several people say she has never raised her voice at any child.
As we prayed the Hail Mary on the way to school, as I tried to reassure my little buddy that tomorrow he didnt have to go to school.  I just pray this all passes, because it is making the mornings from the time he gets up to the time I take him to his classroom, miserable for both of us.  Teacher also told us to send a picture of me and John for him.  JG picked out a picture from out wedding that he likes and took it with him today.  Please please please pray for my little love bug, it makes me so sad he is so upset.
I feel like a bad mom today, because I made my kid go to school when he was so upset.  But it will never get better if he doesnt see he will be ok.......better when he is 3 than in jr. high, like his mama??

Blessed Mother Theresa, today is your birthday! Please pray for my little boy!
