Another school year has begun. We walked the boys to the bus this morning
for their first day of school. Matthew
(on, this, his 10th birthday eve) is looking forward to 4th
grade and improving his math skills and reading outloud abilities). Zachary (7 years old) is starting 2nd
grade. This year he wants to work on
writing. He’ll also have a big year with
First Reconciliation (for which he seems to be compiling an extensive list of
sins! J ) and First Communion in May. Kaliana (2.5 years old) is also looking
forward to an epic year. We will do potty
training (God help us) and maybe, just maybe, we’ll see a decrease in toddler
tantrums. That’d be amazing. Yesterday, in the pouring rain, while walking
from the car to the boys’ teacher meet and greet, Kayli had an epic display of
two-year-old angst in someone’s front yard.
It was a full on, throw herself on the ground, kick off her rain boots
and roll in the muddy grass tantrum for about 12 minutes. We were late, drenched and cranky for our
first impression meetings with the boys’ teachers. Awesome!
Other than the mud-rolling tantrum, we spent
yesterday preparing for the school year and Matthew’s birthday. We celebrated last night with my fam and my
Godmother, my mom’s sister, Ann who is in town.
Thankfully, Kayli was (mostly) tantrum-ed out by last night’s family
dinner!
