The kids arose early this morning (5:30) - I can blame this on the summer sun. They’ve already adopted their summer schedule - early to bed and early to rise. I guess they know the countdown is on. We only watched one show and the rest of the morning was spent playing, reading and getting ready. Except for having to run back in the house to grab - now what was it? - my son was on the bus and my daughter and I were ready to go to day care on time. Finally, I got it together. And there’s only two days of school left.My daughter was moved into the ‘big kid’ class at day care last week. I have mixed feelings on it. She was the oldest in the other class and now she’s the baby again. But she has children she can look up to and her teacher already told me today that my little 2-year-old is more like a 12-year-old. So many things are changing in our house. My son will soon be out of preschool and preparing for kindergarten. My daughter is nearly potty trained. And summer is here, my first since returning to work full-time. I can only hope all the fun stuff on the kids’ calendar is enriching, fun and not too much. I can only hope that I’ve made good decisions for them as they continue their own path. And I can only hope that what they do today will prepare them for what’s in store tomorrow.
