How is it going for everyone?
Andrew and Alex started two weeks ago. Aidan had his open house on Wed. and Zoe had her first hour of Montessori KINDERGARTEN....WHAT????.... yesterday! Amanda, Aidan and Zoe start on Tuesday of this next week.
We have all finally settled into the routine of getting the boys out to their school each morning. They aren't thrilled to be the only kids that they know ended their summer breaks early. I've ironed out most of Amanda's curriculum for this next year and am ready to start. I picked out all classics for her language arts class and she was a little depressed when I showed her The Iliad, The Odyssey, etc! Oh well ... suck it up girl! Aidan got a teacher who taught 4th grade for many years before sliding down to 2nd grade. We have been told that her expectations are very high and she pushes the kids hard. I don't know how I feel about that for my 7 year old, but ... she did seem nice enough. Maybe he'll rise to the occasion. I hear most of the kids do. Zoe started KINDERGARTEN yesterday with the 1 hour slide-back-in. She'll be in the afternoon class this year, but I'll take her in at 10 so that she has some play time/lunch with friends ... this will ensure that I have undisturbed time with Amanda.
Holy crap. Where did the years go? Where? This is the first time ever that I have a child in Kindergarten and don't have a baby or toddler (or both) at home. I can't believe that part of my life is over. NO more babies to cuddle up with ... it's done.
Wow!
