Augustine says one of the worst part of school is Levi isn’t there. He gets home from school and needs some serious Levi cuddles. Augustine often holds him while having screen time, but I insist he hold Levi away from the screen. Sometimes Augustine forgets to pay attention to his baby brother during this time. The other day he was forgetting so I said, “what are you even doing?!” to which Augustine replied, “I’m multitasking, Mom.” It made me laugh really hard.
Third grade is going great for Augustine. He enjoys the work, chapter books, and a new lunch/recess time. He won’t admit it of course. He’s noticing a lot of social changes in his class, so we often stay up a little later than bedtime chatting in his room about how to handle the awkward situations he’s noticing between girls and boys. From what I can gather, it really confuses his 9 year old self when 1) girls whisper and 2) girls look at you funny and 3) when girls ask to play a game on the playground and then don’t know how to join in the game. When I told him he was right, that his class is at the age where girls and boys start to have awkward and confusing interactions, he asked how long this would happen. I told him truth be told until he and his friends go all the way through high school, which made me laugh. He couldn’t believe it.
