I will not forget my pack pack

"I will not forget my pack pack"

That's the sentence Zach had to write today. He forgot his bag on Wednesday even though I told him to grab it three times. I was in a rush getting Wesley to go so I didn't make sure he grabbed it. Afterall, I'd told him three times to grab it right?

We got to the school and I let Zach out in the cold and said "Don't forget your pack pack." He turned around to get it and was instantly crushed. No bag. "Can we go home mom?" He said it in a way that he already knew the answer. "Nope little buddy. I told you three times to get your bag and you didn't. You'll have to go inside without it." "But but but... my teacher book is in there." (They have a book the teacher writes in every day. Sentences for them to do and a thing on how they did. I have to sign it every day as well to say I saw it). "Well you should have remembered to bring it little buddy. Sorry. You'll have to go to class without it because you aren't going to be late."

I sent him on his merry little way and he was crying and dawdling and wouldn't go do class. I got in the car and the little turd waited just inside the door for me to leave. I don't know what his plan was, but he wasn't going to class at all. So I got out of the car and got Wesley... in his stitch costume. Oh yeah. Wes was in his stitch costume that day. Lovely yes? We made quite the stir. I took Wes in and walked a crying Zach to class. I explained to his teacher that Zach forgot his bag and he'd just have to do without it today even though she'd be very angry *wink wink be angry.* She played along and said although she was disappointed, it was okay and he could still come to class. We laughed a little when he went to put his coat away. The class said HI HI HI HI to wes I mean Stitch. Stitch waved and them and giggled. We left and that was that.

Today Zach got to do a sentence in the blank space of his book that said "I will not forget my bag" so that he doesn't forget. Although the horror of letting down his teacher made him remember his bag pretty well the last couple days. Even when Thursday was a snowday
