Top 5...

So we are now proud attendees of St. Cyprian's. We're super excited and can't wait to start - but I'm pretty sure that after last night, they may be begging for more time. We all know by now that Bug is mercurial. You never know what you're going to get. Last night we had well behaved moments...and we had those moments that make you shut your eyes and wish you were anywhere else but there. So - to just sum up the night - here's the top 5 things you don't want to hear when you're enrolling at a new school -

1. "Wow - he sure is quick!" - Read - this was uttered as my son took off and ran from one side of the school to the other with my phone.

2. "He'll do anything to get to music!" - uttered as my son was literally strumming the tar out of a guitar at the front of the stage - in front of EVERYONE. (This followed comment #1)

3. "Wow Buddy - you sure have a loud growl!" - read - holy crap! How did your ear drums survive after your son pulled your ear to his mouth and screamed NO!

4. "He sure is strong willed" - this game after he REFUSED to get down from a kid size loft in one of the classrooms. KID. SIZE. LOFT. Think about how this plays out...there's nothing about me kid sized. Nothing. Getting him down was an interested task.

5. "At least he likes his new school!" Said as he was screaming and kicking and begging to stay on our way out of the door.

Well St. Cyprian's, it's a done deal. You can't back out of it now! So...all I have to say...in true Episcopalian form..."The Lord be with you..!"
