I cannot believe that my baby has started kindergarten. Today is Tuesday and the kids started school last Wednesday. I walked him in his first day but by the 2nd day he just wanted me to drop him off in car rider line. He did amazing. He was a little nervous that he wouldn’t be able to find his classroom, but I reminded him of which way to go and told him he could ask any adult for help. He did it without hesitation and reported that he found it without a problem when I picked him up. He has handled this transition so well so far. He is a little uninterested in going back again upon waking up each day, but he quickly adjusts and is willing then always reports a fun time when I pick him up. I can already see his confidence growing and I know he is going to change so much this year. I want this for him because it will all be so good for him and his future, but I am also already missing my sweet baby.
Ella also started middle school. There were a few nerves there as well, but she has come home smiling each day and has said that it is better than she expected it to be. I can’t believe that Reese is in her last year of middle school and will be headed to high school next year. She turns 14 in a little over half a year and will be eligible to get her permit. This is flying way too fast!
During all of these changes I am transitioning into full time work for the company that Neal worked for, Keeco. I have been working 2 days a week since last March and hired a sitter over the summer for the 2 days. For the first few weeks back to school I am working 3 days but only during school hours so that I can be the one to pick William up from school each day. The 2nd week of September I have hired a sitter to help me after school 3 days a week with the pick ups and transports. I will work in office all day 3 days and will work from home and manage some of the transports myself the other 2 days. So far it has gone well and Keeco has been so supportive of this transition for our family.
Some of these changes are big but so far they have been good.
