We are three days into school and I am a loss to what to do with Nathan. Just the two of us seems to be leaving us with a lot of down time. I am sure this will all change very soon. I purposefully didn't plan anything this week. It is kinda strange just having one kid at home during the day. I am used to being out numbered. For the past five years I have been out numbered, 3 to 1 at one point. Now it is just me and the man child.
This morning was what I expected school for two to look like. Alex was unmotivated and easily distracted while getting ready. Madison was dramatic. I swear she has a button for tears. I think by the time she left her attitude was better. I am eager to see how the treated Alexandra during the task of taking her to class. All I asked was for Madison to walk Alex to class. You should have seen the reaction and the attempt to get out of my simple request.
Once they are dropped off this leads us to major down time. I feel like Nathan and I are sitting around waiting for the girls to get out of school. In all honesty, we are. I am keeping busy doing my mom stuff, but Nathan is lost without the girls. I am going to have to be creative with Nathan this year. I think once my mom gets here and we start our new playgroup at the end of this month I will feel less like we are waiting around for the girls.
Nathan is so different in the way he "plays". The girls have always been happy to craft and color. Nathan is right now humming a Star Wars song running around with an Obi Wan spaceship. He could careless about coloring (although a Star Wars coloring book has kept his interest more than any other). He eats, sleeps and talks about Star Wars. One morning before his feet hit the floor he was humming the ewok song. Did you know there is an ewok song? When we go to Target we have to look at Legos and the Star Wars aisle. I really could careless about starfighters, jedi masters and Buba Fett.....he is a......(let me ask Nathan).....Bounty Hunter! The boy would be content with playing the Wii, watching TV and anything related to Star Wars. We are going to have to find some middle ground.
