Well the day that I’ve been dreading is finally here. Summer is over. over. Everyone thought I was crazy for not enrolling David in a school or some class or camp or whatever. How will you get work done? He will go stir crazy. Blah blah. As it turned out, he was awesome. He played hours of legos and ran around in the backyard. He learned addition and subtraction. He learned to read. (I mean he really can read now!! it’s amazing.) He played with his brother. And he was awesome. Neither of us regret it one bit. One little bit.
We had a meet-and-greet in his class today so we got his school clothes out. Which included these light-up Spiderman shoes. Of course, Nathaniel immediately wanted to put them on. And then, of course, he immediately wanted to take them off. My boy, so predictable.
And then he sucked his thumb a bit. It’s much better but now I’m nervous about it getting sick again of course.
David lay down on the floor, pretending to be asleep so Nathaniel tried to “wake him up.”
And then gave up and went to sleep with him.
And then it was time to go to school. David’s teacher had this photo of a school outside the door with all the kids’ names on each apple. I asked David if I could take a photo and this is the smile I got.
While we waited for it to be time, he played in the playground. And Nathaniel wanted to go too, but we didn’t let him.
Then we went in and he explored many of the corners of his new classroom.
And here he is with his new teacher. She looks quite nice to me.
After we came home, the kids sat on the floor and did what they do often: played legos together. Look at my boys.
And tomorrow is the first day of school. I know I am more nervous than David. I know he will do great cause he always does. Let’s see how well I’ll do.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that David’s new school and class appear to be wonderful. I really hope that he loves every minute of his school life there.
2. I am grateful that Jake’s taken some days of to do this with me. I am anxious and it really helps to have him be there with us.
3. I am grateful that I am a little back to my routine today. Tomorrow will bring a new routine but I am still grateful for having exercised, done some art, etc.
Two Things David’s Grateful For:
1. going to his new school.
2. playing some didj games.
3. daddy.
