Summer has come to and end.  It went by too fast.  School started for us on August 30th.  Now I have 2 children in school.  They were so excited for school to begin (I must say I was too).  Preston started 3rd grade and absolutely loves his teacher.  Levi  started Kindergarten.  Levi was so excited to finally get to go to school like his big brother.  The first day was only an hour long and the parents were there to help.  We went on a little scavenger hunt that took us around the classroom and showed the kids where the bathroom was.  It was really just a time to help the kids become comfortable with the new setting.  After we were done and were on our way home I asked Levi what he thought of school.  His response was “It was boring”.  My first thought “And so it begins”.  I was afraid that I might have a hard time getting him to go to school for the next week.  Fortunately he has warmed up to it and is enjoying school.  He is so different from his big brother.  Preston comes home and tells me all about school and how his day was.  When I ask Levi it’s like pulling teeth to get anything out of him.  Most of the time he tells me he can’t remember.  Eventually I’ll get little tid bits out of him and he ends up having a pretty good time in school.

I have to say it has been so quiet and nice to just have one at home even if it’s only for a few hours.  It is also really nice to have some one on one time with my youngest.  In fact a perfect time to potty train.  I’ve never done the potty training thing with a girl.  I’ve been told it’s easier.  So far it seems to be the same for me.  She is still learning the basics and I find myself saying, while cleaning the mess up, “and so it begins.”

Well summer is ended and with it comes the cooler temperatures and the busy life of running kids from here to there.  I have to wonder what happened to the warm weather and the days of sleeping in. As I wake every morning before the sun I find myself saying “and so it begins.”
