Done with the babysitting
Carter and Anna have been in school for one month now. We have not liked Carters school AT ALL. They go to different schools, Anna goes to Crown Charter School, because her birthday is later. And Carter goes to the public school. Our plan when school started was to switch Anna as soon as we could, it did not go that way. I have not liked Carters school. He is not learning anything at all. In fact he is forgetting stuff he learned in Kindergarten because he is not doing anything! Carter has not had any home work yet. I asked his teacher if he is going to be getting some any time soon. She said they are STILL going over rules and procedures...FOR A MONTH! she said that he will not get any homework until October?!?!?!? School started August 4th! Anna comes home every day with homework and already has her first spelling test! She is doing so good and loves school! Any way, also Carter has not been his normal self since school started. He is not as happy. He have been stressing about him since school started! So we decided to switch him to Anna's school! It was the best decision EVER! He started on Thursday, so he has only been there 2 days but he says he likes it more than his other school! We feel so good about this decision! Here are some pictures of his first day of school, he now has to wear a unif
orm...
So Carter is back to his happy self! He was so excited to go to school on Friday!

WOW, that is a lot of kids to keep track of. I don't know if I could handle that many kids. I'm glad it went so well.
Emily, way to follow your mommy gut instincts with Carter's school! Going over policies and procedures for almost TWO months is over the top extreme. Did she not want to do lesson plans until then? I don't understand the logic there. Poor Carter must have been bored out of his mind. So kudos go out to you and Chad for stepping up and doing something about it. :0)
And I TOTALLY agree with you, Cory and Jenny's kids are AWESOME!!!!! Unbelievably valiant and just GOOD! I don't know how they did that, but I too aspire to have such a positive effect on my kids. Cami was in my primary class and was just fantastic. I'm kind of jealous now that you got to watch their kids. HA HA. But not so jealous of the hectic schedule since I'm not a big fan of being over booked more than one day in a row. I feel like I'm being trapped or something! But none-the-less, you ROCK for taking over and being such a great caregiver. I just may give you my kids next time Lawrence and I go out of town... KIDDING! Sorry for the heart attack. HA HA.
C & J's kids are really good kids. They take good care of each other and you can tell they are all taught the gospel alot at home. They are a great example to me every time I have watched their kids.
I'm glad you feel right about your decision for Carter's schooling and that he is doing so well with the change.

DANG!!! awesome! :) you did great. so with the schools...i'm working at a charter school that just opened this year...it's INCREDIBLE...the curriculum, standards, and staff...just throwin it out there in case!! :) 99th/happy valley...candeoschools.com :)

So...what rules do you have planned for when you have teenagers??? I am dying to know what you learned since we are on the verge of having a pre-teen.

Oh dear! I'm so nervous for the school phase. I'm glad you were able to find a great school for Carter! He is such a cutie!
