Today was Tyler’s first day of kindergarten. I can’t believe this day has finally come. I know I really should have been going through this last year, but with Tyler’s birthday being after the cut off date, I got one more year of him being at home with me (at least when he wasn’t in preschool). But, now it is official!!!
He had a GREAT day!! He seems to really like his teacher, Mrs. Kalnicki, and Mark and I like her as well. We have been told that she is one of the best teachers Ty could have gotten and that is from people who work at the school!! This first week won’t be anything to taxing on the kids. Mrs. Kalnicki will spend this week just getting them adjust to their new environment and then starting next week she will start sending home homework and reading assignments. So, I am going to have to start structuring our routines to make sure we have time for everything that needs to get done every night. I feel like I am going back to school myself! Plus, tomorrow will probably be the strangest day for me in the past 5 years….I will be home for 6 hours without either of my children!! Ty will be in school and Chayse will be at preschool. Starting tomorrow I will have 3 days a week were both the kids will be in school…..and then next year they BOTH will be in school fulltime!!! I know, I am getting a head of myself, but it will be here before I know it. Well, one day at a time right!?! Anyway, I am SO proud of my little man and I can’t wait to see what amazing things he has to show us!!!
