Back to school!

With the close of summer comes the beginning of school! This is a big year for us! Nola has begun Grade 2, Rob is enjoying another year of Kindergarten and John, my baby, has started Pre-K. That means I have FOUR afternoons a week to myself...ahhh! I can blog more about my 'free' time later, 'cause I want to focus on my three amazing kiddos!


Nola is in Mrs Fraser's class and it has been a bit of a journey so far. She went to school excited and ready to go, however her anxiety was getting the best of her for the first month. With some changes at home as well as some changes in the classroom, she is now coping quite well. She LOVES school. She loves Mrs Fraser and being in a class again with Eleanor!! She is learning so much and loves to craft and tell me all about what she is learning in science. She can read well, but its not her favourite thing to do. She runs in the running club and sings in the choir. I adore every little thing about this girl - she truly holds my heart. I love you Nola!


Robbie is back with Mrs Fender and I could not be any happier with our decision!!! Oh, it just feels so right. He is at the same level as his peers now and he is happy!!! He actually WANTS to go to school! That very rarely happened last year...I just don't think he was ready. But, he is ready now and loving it! He has become quite the little artist and he loves to draw. He is learning some sights words and has made a few friends in his class. He is in the afternoon class, which I said I would never do, but I don't know why - I LOVE IT!! You are growing so much Robbie, and I am so proud of you! I love you DuffMan!


This guy is in school! Ahh!! He goes full-time, which, again, is something I said I would never do, however it is absolutely the right decision for him. It has been great for him to listen to other adults, interact with more kiddos and get used to not always having Mommy around. He happily goes to class everyday, expect for the 3rd week, where he cried every time I left. Now we have a routine for when I drop him off - I go into class with him and we draw a picture together. Once the picture is done, we hug, kiss and say goodbye. We usually draw a silly guy named Steven, the Hulk or a jack-o-lantern. It is a cherished moment of mine for each day :) He still loves play-doh and usually comes home with a backpack full of drawings and crafts. He is learning new songs and comes home signing them. The other day he sang 'The Button Factory' and I nearly died - he is too cute! John, you are adapting so well to the world around you. Just watching you in class makes me beam with pride. I love you, baby Boy!

Now like I said, I have to figure out what my life looks like with this new 'free' time! It feels weird, to be honest, but I trust I will figure it out, as I do in each new life stage.

Hooray for school!
