School has Started!

Yes we have just made it through the first week of school.  We've started into a new "norm" if there is such a thing.  It's been a little rocky at times but we are slowly getting adjusted.  I now have to remember to make 2 lunches at night not one and try and look through papers and see if there is anything I need to know about or do before the next school day..  Even though its still warm outside (about 85 as I type) I'm having to gear my brain into "school mode!"

JB is at a new school this year and so far loves it.  He loves switching classes and having different teachers etc.  Homework at this point is minimal since it is the first week but we all know that will change.  JB also has had no problem getting up early and getting ready for school.  He has been so excited the last couple of mornings that he has even walked down to my in-laws (whom we carpool with) just because he was ready! 

I pick up in the afternoon which has meant some nap re-adjusting.  Liesel still takes 2 naps a day so I'm working on shortening the morning one so she can get a long afternoon one in before we pick JB up from school. It was rough at first but we're doing better.  It's just a good reminder that kids need naps and mommies need their kiddo to take naps!  Everyone is happier!

First week down, quite a few more to go! :)

New routines are often tricky but usually rewarding. I hope you enjoy yours.
