It’s the first day of school here in South Carolina! I say that with a bit of glee as well as a bit of nostalgic mistiness…It’s awesome to have this break and there is a peaceful quietness in the house right now…almost a bit weird. …But with another school year starting…the kiddies are growing up so fast…I really have to slow down more to appreciate them as the incredible people that they are. When you use the principles of attachment parenting…you create closeness with your kids…sometimes it’s a bit tough to separate…
Our little baby boy Colin begins his first year. Kindergarten is such an exciting time. Little Collie loves to play with his mini action figures…he plays with such an incredibly innocent imagination…We always ask…”watcha doin Colin..? “He answers back …playing guys!
He asked this morning as we were herding everyone through the regimen of getting out to school…Dad can I bring some guys to school? No buddy…not today. I answered….he then had his back up question ready…then what about some Leggos? Ha ha…I credit him for his persistence…no toys I had to answer…Your teacher will have lots of fun things for you to do though I promised!…Low and behold…his teachers..Ms.Pederson and Mrs. McRae had piles of Leggos on every table when we got to his class! GO TEACHERS! It was perfect for him! He is going to love it and excel in school.
Hannah and Ryan are also excited for the new year…Hannah Banana is in 4th and Ry Scooty is in 2nd…we have 3 of them in the same school… with Gymnastics and Soccer, chorus and dance going on it should be loads of fun! It’s pretty peculiar though…Ryan was up every morning this summer at the crack of dawn…but for some reason on the first day of the new school year he just couldn’t drag himself outta bed…hmmm. Now I know there is craziness happening in your homes too, please feel free to comment on your kids first day of school and share stories with our Holistic Parenting Community. Chat soon…
