A handsome shirt, and a big smile on his face.

I’m still not ready for Thade’s first day of school though…

Kindergarten Check List: Enrollment Complete

July 30th, 2009

Yesterday was one of those days where I woke up worried, and dreading kindergarten enrollment. Don’t let Thade know, but Mommy was a nervous wreck! I debated going grocery shopping while Thade was at VBS, or head over to enrollment, I decided to go to enrollment. My best friend Stacey had warned me that enrollment takes awhile, and Thade isn’t a fan of waiting. So while we had a few hours, just Dylan and me, I got the paper-work together, and off to enrollment we went.

There was a pretty good crowd already, and a big table full of items that needed filled out and signed. I ran into a few friends there, so that helped my mood, and any questions that I had too. Once the initial paperwork was finished, then Dylan and I made the rounds to the ten other stations to complete enrollment.It took a little over an hour, but I’ll know what to do next year.

I saw Thade’s school principal and met the school nurse again too, and I even met a new mommy that has just moved to town. Dylan loved enrollment, he got to meet a lot of new kids, and I think he really wished that he was going to Kindergarten too. I got a lot of information about the school, and I think Thade will have a fun school year.

We just have a few more items to get done before school starts, and the days are ticking away…

Watch Me Try and Keep It Together Today

July 29th, 2009

It’s school enrollment day, and I’m a worried mess already. I’d love to blame the fact that I am a basket-case Nico on preggers hormones, but it’s really because I’m not ready for my big kid to go to school just yet… I know he’ll do fine, and I know we’ll fall into a school routine that works for our family, but this mommy is having one tough day.

Seriously, who wouldn’t miss this cuteness all day?!?

Well if I can make it through the day without completely losing it and sobbing at enrollment, I’ll let you know.

We are one step closer to Kindergarten, we’ve got the school supply shopping done. Thade also has his lunch-box and backpack ready to go to school. I’m still not ready though…
