The new school year has begun. I can't believe I now have a 3rd grader and the twins in a 3 yr old preschool program. How time is flying by. I love that Julian loves to go to school. He is such a people person and has adapted so well to once again being in a new place. Poor kid, he is 8 years old and this is the 4th place he has lived. Chris and I always worried we were doing him harm, but think he actually enjoys the different places. He always asks where are we going next. It has shaped him into the person he is becoming. He loves geography, and loves studying about the different parts of the world and desires to visit many places as he gets older (the newest being Indonesia). And we are so happy with our new neighborhood. It was our #1 request to be somewhere where there are many kids and that is what we got. There are 14 kids at the morning bus stop, and all the parents and families are really great. Julian rode the bus the first couple of days but we are so close to the school, sometimes it's just easier to drop him off. We look forward to a great 3 rd grade year, and hope he has fun, and continues to learn so much.
My sweet boy alex! He is a mommy's boy.
Alex's new favorite obsession is firetrucks and firemen. He loves them, and loves dressing up in this costume that was Julian's a couple years ago. Alex constantly says he is going to be a firetruck man.
This is the "babies" first day of preschool. The are going to a local church preschool 2 mornings a week for 4 hours. They even eat lunch there on the days they go which is a first. Hopefully, I can let go of my control to feed lilly and she will eat good on her own. Lilly is pretty excited about school, Alex, not so much (to say the least). Alex has some pretty good meltdowns before school. It's heartbreaking forcing him to go to school. He is good after I leave but it does tear at my heart to watch him so unhappy. The teacher says he has a fabulous day when I pick him up which makes the bad mornings all worth it. I know this is good for them, to get out and play with other kids and also helps expand their vocabulary. I just pray that this doesn't last very long. ( for mommy's sake).
It is very difficult to get a picture of the 3 of them, especially when i was trying not to highlight the fact that Alex was about to go to school without mommy.
Alex has been to school for 4 days in total, and each day is a challenge, but is getting slowing better.
