Full Day; International Night

This morning, I dropped Peyton off with Brandon, then headed to Brandon’s school. Brandon signed the Thank You card for his teacher in the office, then I went to sign out my book for the class. There was an extra long flag salute, and when it was done, I headed to my car to study for the reading. 30 minutes later, I headed to Brandon’s class for my last reading session of the year! It went well, and I handed out each child’s certificate that Dave helped me make. It was a great experience, and a great way to meet all of Brandon’s classmates. After, I headed to meet with our leadership team in the multi-purpose room for next week’s thank you coffee/breakfast. After an hour-long meeting, I headed to the gym. I was on a mission to run 5k, and I did so quickly (for me). I got it to 9:10 per mile. Then, I headed to shower up before heading back to get Brandon. We headed to 85 degrees for him to pick out a pastry for himself as well as Peyton. We headed home for him to do a book online, then picked out some books online. He is into “You Wouldn’t Want to Be” books, and when I looked up the AR levels, I agreed with him to get them. They are actually non-fiction type books, some cartoon-like qualities, and when I asked him who else reads the books, responded, “Joelle also reads them.” (Thanks, Joelle!) So, we went to the library, and we searched for several different books. We ended up with a whole bag full of books, both for Brandon and Peyton, too. We headed over pick Peyton up, who was in the middle of their monthly birthday party. We took her veggies to go, but I told her no more sweets (she had just inhaled a pre-wrapped brownie), and had a sugar cookie on her plate. I’d mentioned to her teacher how she’s been throwing up after eating too many sweets lately. We headed over to swim class, and I had both kids change in the car. I put a towel between them so they wouldn’t look at each other, even though they wanted me to shield them from the passersby, of which there were none while we were in the parking lot. I decided to wait inside the pool area, with 20 minutes remaining for the previous class, since it was so hot. They each brought a book, and we read while waiting. It was the most peaceful part of our day, until the mom coming into the next class slammed the door on her little girl’s fingers without even knowing it until I told her why her kid was crying. I couldn’t look, since it reminded me of Peyton’s fingers. When she settled her daughter down, I even shared what happened to Peyton. Turns out her daughter is 2 turning 3. The kids did well in the pool, working more on their technique from last class. Peyton even offered information to Ms Sarah, telling her about movie day today, and what they watched at school. She just talks and talks to her! After swim, we headed home, and both kids were motivated to get showered up to go to International Night. It’s our first time in 3 years of being at school, and we didn’t know what to expect. Dave was cooking dumplings to bring. Every family was encouraged to bring a dish to share. Brandon immediately saw some friends, and went to play soccer, while we walked around with Peyton. We tried foods from around the world, but Peyton wasn’t too interested. There were many desserts, but some savory dishes, too. Finally, Brandon caught up with us, saying he got hit with the ball. We kept losing Peyton, who was drawn to the performers. She could care less about the food! Dave doesn’t like potluck style food either, so he sat with Peyton to watch the Korean drumming, and later African drumming. Brandon was hungry, and he walked around trying everything. He even saw the Scotland booth, and was almost going to try haggis! Dave did, but said it was bland. Brandon didn’t take it, but opted for the shortbread instead. I don’t even think he knew what he had just missed. Dave was done after the African dancing, and we headed back to the car. Here are some pictures:

We came home and since the kids had already showered, we fed them round 2, then off to bed to read.  We’re going to focus more on reading, since it had slipped recently (for Brandon anyway).  We’ll keep going with Peyton, and see how she does in her assessments when it comes time.
