On his way!

I can remember my Grandma telling me about how she sent her first two little ones to Sunday school every Sunday...this was a bit surprising because in those days Grandma was not an avid church-goer...in fact when I questioned her it turns out that she dropped them off at the church for Sunday school and then went for coffee! (Later in life she did become very faithful).

This little story makes me laugh... I love my children endlessly but I can so relate to the need for even just an hour to yourself!

Soooo...B started preschool today. And if we are being completely honest then he may be a tad young for it. At twenty-seven months he is four months younger than R was when she started. He is also just a completely different type of kid. He thrives on action and despite our fairly busy social calendar with play-dates and drop in programs I just can't keep up with him. So when the preschool teacher told me about an opening in R's class I jumped at the chance and we took it. It is a great opportunity for him to learn how to get along with kids, and it is a great opportunity for me to have a bit of time.

B had been asking to go to preschool ever since we attended R's Christmas party there and she is thrilled that he is joining her. They were both super excited and when I went to drop them off he got out of the car and made a bee-line for the classroom door without hesitation. I waved goodbye to both of them and neither really seemed to notice that I was leaving. Evidently, he feels comfortable there.

I spent my time having a shower and tidying up the house. Nothing exciting but it was very relaxing. I wanted to stick close to home just in case I got a call from the preschool. No need to worry though and when I went to pick them up both my little ones were fine. The teacher did comment that the day was a lot more "active" than it usually is and reiterated that this month is a trial as B is still "learning".

Let's hope that he is a fast learner 'cause mama could get used to two afternoons a week to herself!
