I can hardly believe that summer is at its end!
Last week we took the kids up to the school to meet teachers and visit classrooms. Noomi was feeling a bit grouchy and was not interested in exploring her class or meeting her teacher, lol. Her teacher was incredibly nice and I think Noomi will really enjoy a formal preschool. After reviewing the materials sent home from the teacher, I see the difference between a structured preschool program and a daycare program. It’ll be rough for Noomi but we know its for the best, plus it’ll make drop off and pick up so much easier on Dave and I.
Ajax was apprehensive and a bit nervous about seeing his class and meeting his teacher, Mrs. Masinda, but she too seemed warm and pleasant. We think he’ll have a great year in the First Grade! Wow, I cannot believe we have a first grader. Both Ajax and Noomi will go before-school and after-school care. I’ve talked to a few other parents who also use the before/after school program who say their kids really like it.
Oh, Noomi’s arms look perfect! They are pale and very soft, but perfect. We keep her arms covered with long sleeves and apply lots of sunscreen. Ajax is doing ok, but he’s feeling a bit stressed – between the accident and starting school. We’re trying to help him enjoy the last few days of summer and prepare him for class. Although I remember being stressed as a kid starting class, as a parent this is way more stressful! Watching your kiddos make their way in the world – exhausting!
