I forget what it's like to be bleary-eyed. We've been through it, for diaper changes, feedings and pee pit stops, but we've been spoiled for a while. In fact, until last week we were all sleeping in until 8a or so. Then school started.
I'm actually not even going to complain about school. I'm just acknowledging that we were really lucky to have so many wonderful sleep-in days. Nathan and I get up around 7a, I get him ready for the day, and we are at the bus stop at 7:45a. This morning felt tough for some reason and making a peanut butter and honey sandwich only ten minutes after I rolled out of bed felt unnatural. But once the bus left and I came home to a Benny that was already at the table eating his Cheerios (thanks Leo), I was starting to feel glad about the daily wake up call. It's nice to get started the same time every day. It's probably good for all of us, despite the initial reaction at 7a - I'm not ready.
And Nathan loves school. He did so great the first day it was like he had done this a million times already. He slipped right into whatever else was going on. He took the bus home and hasn't had a single second thought about it. And neither have I. We are so pleased we have a school so close, a stop full of friends, and a day of activities he really looks forward to.
At home, Benny and I have been rolling along just fine. He plays legos, trains, lego, trains and then legos again. And he's so happy!
I have been able to get some things done that are much harder with two around and having the majority of the day to do them has felt amazing. Even Leo is benefiting I think - less distraction for him too.
Despite the 7a lunch-making duties, I love Kindergarten!
