School Days

Saturday is here, and we have made it through the first week of school. Little Bug started kinder this year. I handled it well - I only only cried the first day. I even waited until after I left her classroom. I was quite proud of myself. :) To be fair, she did well this week too. I could tell by Friday she was wearing down though. Her big brown eyes were a little wet and puffy when I dropped her off Friday morning. We were definitely ready for the weekend to come.

Today we are off to buy her new shoes. Apparently, her feet grew over the past month because only a month ago I bought her seven pairs. She obviously hasn't received the memo that Mommy needs her to stay small just a little bit longer.

The Little Man also had a good first week. He was glad to see many of his classmates from previous years and was very excited to be back in school. I have high hopes for this year. He will be receiving more reading, language arts, and resource time. I have also hired a private speech pathologist to supplement the speech time he is receiving at school. We have been diligent about working on reading and speech over the summer, so hopefully we won't see any regression this year like we did last year.

All in all, it was a good week. To top it off, we celebrated by making back-to-school cupcakes! I probably shouldn't have eaten three - but I did.
