I really need to start getting into a grove and remember to post something more regularly. :)
So the kids are back at school now...it's their second week. My son has started his middle school journey. This week he will also have his first dance. I think I am more excited then he is. LOL. Today I asked him if he was going to dance with anyone and he said "mom I was already asked by someone" . Okay here we go...the chick magnet...silly me I forgot. He is also working on picking his first band instrument this week. This is a good experience, they are letting the kids try all the different kinds of instruments. However, they pick 3 and the band director decides which one. This I think is a little unfair. My son has been already taken drum lessons for 2 years and is really excited about band for this reason. SO I hope when we put the reason down for why he wants to play this instrument he does in fact get his choice.
My daughter is going to virtual school this year. We thought after talking to her about her school experience and looking into home school that this was the best option. I like it because it is not really home school. She has a teacher, she is enrolled and held to all the standers of a public school, and it's free. I love that part. All the books are included. So far it's going good. We have had bumps in the road..it does take time for her to understand that this is going to be school and not play time. But it is something new for all of us. The challenge is taking off the parent hat and putting on a teacher hat.
Out preschooler...likes having sister home for the day, but is adjusting to the new routine of not being able to play with her during school time. She likes to be involved in everything we are doing. We just need to give her, her own thing to do as well.
