SCHOOL AT LAST

Aug 19, 2011 16:36

Chai's first day of preschool was yesterday. The school is so cute! It's bright and colorful and they have the nicest shaded yard to play in. The teacher is an older, happy woman. Chai practically waved me away when I said Gabe & I were leaving, he was so happy to be there. Gabe was also bubbly, talkative and got in great imaginative play. He ( Read more... )

I remember that weird time-chunking thing! People would say to me 'oh, it must be so nice to have some time to yourself', and I just felt so ungrateful thinking 'yes, but it's a really awkward amount of time...'

So I'd just grin and agree.

They just take shifts talking at me. And eating, they never seem to stop eating.

I think this is a great transition for both of them, and the four hour slots will be routine for you very soon. I know when my two youngest nap, I prefer them to nap back to back instead of together because dealing with one for 5 hours is easier than dealing with none for 2 1/2 and then both at the same time. I think it's pretty close to the same thing.

Yay for school!

My summer has been cut into intervals like that. Drop everyone off for 8:30, pick Jamey up for lunch at noon, drop him off, then pick the kids up at 3 then pick him up at 5. You can't get anything done like that.

Why the different class times?
