First day of School Summary
Now that the younger two are napping and the older one is relaxing watching Music Man
The big girl started second grade. We didn’t know who her teacher would be until she walked in the door. It turns out that she has the same teacher as last year, and this teacher has taken on additional tasks or organizing the curriculum for the first through third grade girls. We liked her last year, and I think this will be a good thing for my daughter. One note…she is pregnant (second child) so we will have to see how that will play out.
Little girl (I hate saying middle girl) started “Trom Chova” or K-4. This is the year before kindergarten. We had a one hour visit to the kindergarten yesterday, and today they were there from 8-10. I thought since it was only to ten I didn’t need to include a “ten o’clock snack”–wrong. She isn’t too upset with me, and she seemed to enjoy herself. We actually had the snack planned out since last week, but it will have to wait until tomorrow. Also of note, day two only goes until 11 AM.
Baby…she went to her first day with the same child minder that her older sister had a few years ago. Of the five babies, four of them have siblings that were there 3 years ago. She only kept them for two hours as well, and my little one slept most of the time.
So overall, looking good, except for the short days which are preventing me from working for the next two days.
NOTE: Oh I forgot the big problem…the little girl, although 4 and 4 months old still needs a nap. She won’t be getting it at her new kindergarten. I have to leave her through to the afternoon program due to work, and I don’t know what to do. I think she will be eating dinner at 5 and going to sleep by 6-6:30! A few times this summer when she didn’t get a nap, she fell asleep by 5:30 and slept through until 6AM!
