Well, for us anyway. Conner and Alaina start school on Wednesday and I would be dishonest if I were to say I was not looking forward to them starting. Keeping an 8 year old and VERY active 5 year old entertained while caring for a newborn is hard. Just hard. I feel like with their modified year round schedule, they have a perfect length of summer, around 6 1/2 weeks. Just enough time for vacations and fun summer stuff, but not long enough for all to grow weary, namely Mom. I would like to think I would feel differently if I didn't have a newborn, but who knows. I see some Mom's loving every minute their kids are home for summer and not wanting school to start and then those that count down the days. Me? I am counting the days. Don't judge. : )
Alaina will do staggered entry Wednesday to Friday so it will not be until Monday that they will both be on their regular schedule for school. I think Alaina is going to LOVE school with all the social opportunities and stimulation. I hope that Conner's love for school continues, although third grade is really seen as the transition at his school into "the real world" with his first year of nightly homework, real grades, and switching classes for main subjects.
More on that Wednesday! For now, here are some of the latest pictures and moments I am attempting to capture and enjoy.
Daddy time!
Becoming more alert.
First time really looking at each other.
My little Mommy at heart.
When asked what the hardest part of having a little brother is, Alaina answered "Because you always have to feed him and I never get to see him." HA!
Alaina successfully calmed Zane down from an all out screaming cry tonight and was so proud of herself. I was lucky enough to capture it on video. If I can figure out how to post it I will!
Guess who is starting to hold his head up?
