Preschool Blues!

Well things took a turn for the worse this week for Jaxson at preschool! He is still having a hard time adjusting to his new routines and kids. On Tuesday he had a pretty big break down and his teacher called me and I went up to try and calm him during his meltdown. -which was all over him not wanting to go to Spanish class. I got him to go, but I am not sure that he will go again. Then on Thursday he had a couple more breakdowns during the day. He also is not eating his lunch-or at least not much. When I pick him up he is starving so he eats it on the way home from school. I talked with his teacher for quite awhile on Thursday. He is just having some big attachment issues. He not only gets upset when I leave, but if his teacher has to leave the classroom he has a meltdown. She said that he is very hesitant with the other kids and she tries to pair him up with the quieter kids so they don't upset him. This all just seems so out of character for him. We are working on a "no tears" reward system this week, so cross your fingers!

Vada had a tough week too with her teeth. I think that they are finally broken through because today was a better day for her. She is working at mastering the shoe thing-which she really doesn't care for, but she'll get it.

Friday we had Chris and Kristen over for dinner. Presten and Chris worked on the bathroom, but there is still lots to do! We had a really good time chatting, talking a little politics and watching the debate!

Saturday we had a big day! St. David's had their annual Fall Festival-Art Gone Wild! There were a ton of different activities for the kids to do different art projects, mini golf, climbing wall. Jaxson had a good time. Vada was a little crabby, but what's new! Then off to the apple orchard! Both of the kids perked up when we got there. Jaxson went on a pony ride! I wasn't sure how brave he was going to be, but he did great! Vada loved playing in the hay and going down the little slides. Then on our way home we stopped off at Vicky and Steve's to wish Steve a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Grandpa even took Jaxson down on the lawn mower to see the neighbors horses!

Then today after church, Presten and Jaxson, went to a place called Kids Against Hunger. It is similar to Feed my Starving Children. This one is located in Becker. They fill bags of food that are shipped around the world. Today the boxes that they filled were being shipped to Haiti. Presten said Jaxson did so good. His job was to add a cup of soy to the bag and he worked just as hard as everyone else.

The rest of today has been spent watching football of course! Have a great week!! The Bean's
