Year Round School
I have to admit that I'm torn. As much as I think he's going to great in school, I have never really been a whole day without Cyke on a regular basis. I went to Michigan last year... and when I was in the hospital having Kiera. But other than that, nope -- preschool is only three hours out of the day. So Tuesday, he will be in school from 8:20 to 3:00.... and then he will start full-week school on July 13 for another 8 weeks straight. His first vacation will start Labor Day weekend, and we'll spend the last week of September in Vermont and upstate New York with relatives. It's actually really exciting to be able to take vacation then and not have it require time off school or anything like that (which wouldn't be granted by the county). Plus he gets the entire month from Thanksgiving to after the New Year off, as well -- his three week break then backs right up to the two weeks of Christmas break.
But I will miss having him home with me for another couple of months. It's the changing of an era -- everything shifts now, must be planned around school schedules with no real leeway. Ah well. I suppose I could opt to home school... but frankly, I think I'd be shooting myself in the foot, at least at first. I think he will do better if Mommy is just his Mommy, not his teacher too. Eh..... anyway, just obsessing over it :P
