Rough Day

After so much fun in Maryland (when I get organized, I'll post some photos and tell some stories), Kai had a bit of a tough time transitioning back to school again.

After the second day of being back, I picked him up and he didn't greet me in the way he greets me almost 100% of the time (smiling, hugging, cheering, and so happy to have been at school).

I asked him how school went and he said, "It's been a rough day." I asked why and he didn't say much. After we got in the car, I asked why he wasn't talking much (again, we usually both chit chat the whole way home) and he said, "I've used up all of my words today, Mama."

I just had to laugh.

I asked his teacher about how the day went and he said that indeed it was a rough day for most of the kids since they all had A LOT of energy (remember, it's been so cold here that they can't go outside and play). I guess Kai was the leader of the pack with running and yelling and chasing. His teacher wasn't surprised that he had run out of words....

Now, I can honestly say that I don't think I've EVER run out of words.....
