Cael started kindergarten and is really enjoying it. He even happily does the homework he's assigned to do each night. The first day of school I was holding back tears when I took him to his classroom, and I still want to cry every time I have to drop him off. However yesterday he said to me "Mom, I like when Dad takes me to school", and when I asked him why he doesn't like me to do it, he said; "Well, dad's cool, and sometimes you're embarrassing." WHAT?? I couldn't believe I'd crossed over into the category of an "Embarrassing Parent" already. Maybe it has something to do with how many kisses I try to give him before he gets out of the car, or how many times I yell "Be good, I love you", as he's walking into the school. Or maybe it's my robe, slippers, and hair up in curlers that does it. (j/k -I don't do that yet)...so from now on I'm going to try not to be so weird.
Ava started her Joy School. We hold it once a week and there are 5 kids in the group, I was able to teach the first rotation, and I actually liked it a lot. Ava loved being in "school" like Cael. We went to go buy her a little backpack, but she was adamant that it be a purse she takes with her to class. So she picked out a new one with blue sequins all of over it. She carries it EVERYWHERE!
