All four kids are in school this fall and it is really bitter sweet. It is great to think about having two hours a week that belong to me and only me....I signed up to take yoga classes again. But the thought of not having a side kick with me is really sad. I honestly like my kids and I honestly like having them around. I also knew that it would be so hard on Creed to be away from me but I really felt like he needed to learn that he was safe and loved even if he was away from me for a while and that I would always come back.
So Cami was starting 6th grade at intermediate school. She was nervous and excited and ready for it. She gets to ride the bus for the first time ever and can't decide if this is awesome or not.
Taryn is starting 4th grade. She is on the student lighthouse team (like student council) and has a surprise teacher. Her school assigns teachers the last day of school of one year for the following year. Her assigned teacher that she was psyched to have moved to another school and she ended up with a surprise teacher. So far so good.
Jocelyn started kindergarten and has the most compassionate teacher ever. Jocelyn is smart (learning isn't her challenge in life) but can be really nervous/shy around new people (more challenging). Her teacher is perfect for her personality and we feel SO lucky to have her.
Creed is also lucky to have a compassionate loving kind teacher. He is going to the same preschool the girls went to and I couldn't pick someone better to help me help Creed get over his separation anxiety issues. I spent the first day there with him and worked my way out as Miss Megan worked her way in. The turning point for Creed was when he heard the garbage truck at recess one day and got excited. Miss Megan had the instinct to take the whole class out to watch the garbage man go up and down the whole street. She had Creed's heart from that moment on. The next day of school we pulled up and he told me to stay in the car he was going in by himself.... She knew the way to his heart was through the garbage man. So all the kids are back to school and happily engaged in learning and growing.
Jocelyn on her first big day...She is so stinkin' cute!
Pretty sure those little freckles are among the cutes things I've ever made.
Creed's first big day...Good thing she had some big diggers.
Taryn's big first day....sweet and sassy as always...
Cami getting ready to walk to the bus stop. She has to leave stinking early-like just before 7. Good thing she has several neighbor kids to walk with.
