Grayson is in full day school now. Kinder to be exact. Last year he was in pre-K and was home until the bus picked him up around noon.
This year the bus picks him up around 8:45.
He has been home all summer with Marshall and Charlotte and those three have become so bonded together. They are the 3 Musketeers.
So on the first day that he had to go to school and they stayed home it was Friday. My day home with them.
Wake. Up. Call.
Grayson was such a helper with them and I never even knew it until he wasn't there.
The first half an hour he was gone I was dragged from my seat where I normally get to enjoy my first cup of coffee no less than 20 times.
At first I was baffled at how much they needed me, it took me until hour two of Grayson being gone to realize that he was the one that dressed them in their dress up costumes and subsequently undressed them .25 seconds later when they changed their minds Have I mentioned how fun 2 year olds are?
He was the one that found the 568 toys that they were looking for and usually it was the smallest dumbest thing that they lost interest in 3 mins later I was on a wild goose chase for the smallest little fake ax that went with a firefighter only for them to be happy I found it and then ditch it right back in the bin I had pulled it from
oh good you just needed to know it was still on the premise that is why you cried for the last 8 mins
He was the one that would sing them whatever song they shouted out most of which I don't know but Grayson, Grayson knows them all.
He was the one that would sit and read them Brown Bear Brown Bear 96 times in a row.
All this to say it was an adjustment that first day without Grayson my helper.
Its a few weeks in and we have adjusted. Marshall and Charlotte are playing more independently without needing me every 8 seconds.
But let me just tell you THE best most heart warming part of my day is when Grayson gets off the bus and his brother and sister squeal with delight and excitement that their biggest and best playmate is finally home.
