That didn’t take long. Corwin is already counting the days during the week until he doesn’t have to go to kindergarten. He was originally just full of enthusiasm for school. He pestered us all summer about when he would get to start school. Now, it’s “two more days until no school?”. I think he may just be going through a rough spot where he’s not as interested in the activities. He still goes off to the bus in a rush, though (which may be because his friend Jacob drops by to walk to the bus stop with him).
We had a particularly rough morning today, where Corwin got up at 7:00 and by 7:30 had managed to get clean underwear and pants on, which is not a good pace for a bus that arrives at 8:00. After some prodding he managed to be ready a few minutes early. It’s difficult to keep a close eye on him because if I actually watch him he gets sullen and doesn’t do anything - “don’t look at me!” - and because I have to hold Charles continuously. But saying “Corwin, what are you doing?” starts a flurry of activity that’s enough to get him ready on time.
