first days

Both Chunglund children headed to school this month. Little Miss J for another round of kindergarten at a new school and J2 for his first year of 3 year old preschool. We waffled on sending J2 due to his lack of potty training---but in the end we decided it was time for him to leave the proverbial nest, learn some social skills, and start realizing that unlike his grandparents, not everyone caters to his every unreasonable whim.

Even this early in their school careers, we are already feeling the pressure of having two kids in school. Double the back to school nights, different calendars, who gets out when and who does what to whom. Gus proclaimed we needed a calendar. Apparently, he had missed the memo when I set up a family Google calendar years ago and sent him an invite. But whatever, I'm happy to let him think this was his idea, so long as he uses it.

So far so good. Both kids are enjoying school. To date, we haven't forgotten to pick anyone up. We are buried in the reams of paper that get sent home each week, but are slowly finding our way. Wish us luck!
