The day has finally arrived! School is in! Woo Hoo! School started on Sept. 3rd. Brooklyn started 1st grade and Olivia started pre-school.
The day started out smoothly. We were out the door right on time (quite a feat for me given my history of tardiness). We live close enough to school that we don't get a bus, but we are too far away for Brooklyn to just walk by herself. So all 5 of us headed out to Brooklyn's school. They wanted to ride bikes, but Brooklyn was in a dress, so I compromised and let the girls ride their scooters. I thought that would be safer... WRONG! About 50 yards from school Brooklyn takes a spill and cuts her hand open! She's screaming and everyone has to go around us to get to school. Luckily the playground aide had a "magic" band aid. The instant I put it on her she was better. All the while I'm having flashbacks of the first week of Kindergarten, when she crashed on her bike and missed school. I think Brooklyn is going to have to stick to her feet for awhile! A bus would be so much safer!!!
Anyway, she thought she was going to get a school lunch and was a little disappointed when I made her a sack lunch. But when she came home she told me that she's glad she had a sack lunch because she gets to choose what she wants and that at school she would just have to eat what they gave her. (I think she saw what the other kids got and didn't like the looks of it) Such a picky eater!
Olivia started pre-school with Miss Carolyn. She was so excited. She doesn't start until 1:00pm but got ready early in the morning with Brookie. She told me all about the "time out" chair and how she is never going to sit on that!
This is all exciting to me because for 3 days a week I am only going to have 2 kids at home for 3 hours! Prime errand running time, or sleeping, or cleaning, or blogging, or ... the possibilities are endless! And next year will be even better, when Nathan goes to pre-school! Although it is exciting, it is all happening soooo fast! I'm trying to still enjoy this time with the kids at home, because it'll be over before I know it.
