What an August it has been -- full of new beginnings for all of us. As a few of my bloggy friends know, I've started teaching preschool and have a roomful of three-year-olds to call my own.
I have to admit, I love it so far. It feels like work I was meant to be doing.
As for my own three... back to school has been and always will be complicated. They're happy to see old friends, but not thrilled about homework. They're anxious about who will be in their class or what their teachers will be like. They're excited for new supplies and clothes and hope everyone notices how much taller they are now that a summer has gone by.
They haven't been disappointed.
Now, we're getting ready to enter into the busy season for after school activities. Soccer starts in a week or two. Dance class for my youngest will begin again. And my second grader will begin preparing for his First Communion.
These are busy times for our little clan. I hope the time doesn't slip by too quickly.

How exciting for you! And for your kids--even with the homework.
ReplyDeleteWork you were meant to do...doesn't get much better than that, does it? I'm glad you have it. The kids are lucky.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I haven't been by in a while, but it seems like you've been busy. Preschool is such a fun age.
ReplyDeleteAh, three year olds! I worked in preschool and day care while finishing my elementary certification. I think working with three year olds was my favorite age. Gosh, they're fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are teaching preschool! What a perfect fit for a lovely mama. I have missed being here...and then, you haven't been here! :)
ReplyDeleteHope everything is going well.
