We are almost 2 months into school now and feel incredibly positive about Lilly’s Kindergarten experience thus far. Her teacher is wonderful and I am amazed by how much Lilly has been learning. We had one rough week where it was difficult getting her up and out of the door to school but most days she wakes up, puts her clothes on, brushes her hair, and is excited to get out the door. She has 3 long days (8:30-3) of Kindergarten followed by KE and 2 short days (8:30-11:20) when I pick her up early so we can spend time together. Lilly loves to read and write and continues to surprise us with notes and new words she has learned to spell/read. She stays in her bed at night reading until we insist that she turns off the light, and she has made many new friends who live in the neighborhood.

On the days when I pick up L early, Robin is at school until 2:30 so we have time to hike, ride bikes, read stories, and go on ‘adventures’. I love my time with her and while the schedule we’ve adopted is demanding on me (I have 2 hours without kids all week), the girls are thriving and I think it has been the best thing for them. An exciting year for sure 🙂
