Jamie and Liam Chew's Blog: 2009-10-08

2009-10-08 23:23 (Kristen) Jamie slept until 8, when I woke him up. He woke up well, did everything that he had to do, and went to school with no mucking about and no whining/complaining/fuss. Wow! This sleep thing is really rather amazing. John took Liam to Hakobune, and I cleaned up the house for my dad's visit with his wife, Liz. They're staying with us until the weekend, and the house needed to be cleaner than it was. Everyone arrived here around 2:30 or so, and my dad came with Liam and me to pick up Jamie at school. Jamie was very upset because his adored Mr. Kat (his gym teacher) had been unhappy with the class for some goofing around at the end of class, and Jamie was in complete tears about it. Mr. Kat reassured him that he was doing great, but I think that Jamie just needed to decompress. Sensitive boy. Mr. Kat told me that Jamie tells him "Still like gym!" every time he sees him in the hallways. Mr. Kat is a very nice man.

We needed to get back home so that I could finish making dinner (a roast chicken, which needed stuffing), and the boys hung out and Jamie did his homework before it was time to eat. We ate early, because tonight was Curriculum Night at Jamie's school, and we needed to be there for Ms. Kidd's presentation at 6:30. We made it, and Jamie was very excited and proud to show us his classroom, his work, and his school. It was very interesting for us, and I think that I'm even more impressed with his school than I was before. Once home again, the boys hung out and Jamie did a little reading for me before bedtime. Bedtime was 9:40, which was about half an hour later than I'd hoped for, but I'm still pretty happy that it wasn't later.
