Shopping With Boys
I made a discovery yesterday. We took Gabe school shopping, part of which was getting some new clothes. For all you moms of infant or soon to be born boys, here is a warning. Little boys do NOT like trying on clothes. :-) It just isn't the same as shopping with girls. But that's ok...there are so many great things that boys do that girls don't like to do. It was just a funny discovery...something I probably already knew, but just hadn't experienced.
So the door lady called me yesterday. She didn't sound happy, but I happily passed her on to Agent Super Schoeb so hopefully all will end well. Thank you Jayson!!!
The backpack is filled, the new shoes have been bought, the lunchbox arrived in the mail, parent orientation is tomorrow night. All seems to be in place...EXCEPT MY NERVES!!!!!! My mind just keeps endlessly spinning thinking of all the things that could go wrong as Gabe starts school. I am so nervous for the small things that the other kids will be able to do better like write and cut with scissors. He does so many things really well...you all know that!! We think he's a genius!! I think what I am afraid for is teasing for the things he's not good at yet. Do all moms go through this? I have to imagine that they do. Well, only 5 days to go. Here's to my wonderful little boy and his BIG new adventure.

We ahve just discoveref this thing about boys as well. Jonah just wanted to buy the silly pants and forget trying them on! And you are not silly to worry about Gabe. Yes, everyone goes through that. And every kids gets teased, it just happens. So deep breaths! Good luck Gabe!
i can identify with that worry... Gen is the same, really brilliant at certain things and yet she really struggles with others. i always worry about people teasing her, making her feel less significant.
I have to believe all parents worry about these things which are inevitably out of our hands....
I'm so excited/nervous/scared for you! Gabe is going to do great! I'm half-tempted to stalk you guys on Monday!
