My littlest nugget started her summer school program and I’m so relieved to say it went well. Her first impression of the “big kid school” was a good one and I’m grateful for that!
This fun summer program is only 1/2 day and takes place at the same school she’ll begin Kindergarten at in the Fall. I’m glad she’ll get a head start by spending some time there this summer, getting to know the layout, and the teachers before Kindergarten even starts!
It was a hard decision to “take away” some of her summer but after the first day, I can tell you I feel confident we made the right choice. It’s also helpful to know that it’s just for the month of July.
Laney had so much fun with her new and old friends (from preschool). It feels good to know that she is experiencing new things; she’s flexing her “be brave” muscle, and she’s learning new skills with her peers!
This next week or so will be another time of transition for us. The mid-summer transition as Laney starts this summer program we are also preparing on saying goodbye to the cousins who have been with us for the past 6 weeks.
The cousins leave for Missouri this coming weekend and it’s going to be incredibly hard to say goodbye. I am hopeful though to get back into more of a self care routine (to include more blogging) after we settle in to the new routine of summer school for Laney, and the cousins traveling back to Missouri.
We still have plenty of fun to look forward to this second half of summer, too. The first half was spent with our long-distance family, and this second half we’re excited to spend with friends!
Long live summer!
