August always seems like a crazy month for some reason. I presume it is because there are six family birthdays in this month, and because it is the month that school starts back. Yes, the long awaited day finally came. Today was the first day of school, and I was so excited for the kids to get back in a routine. I have to give the blow by blow because it was very different for Camryn and Brady. Brian and I were up early this morning so we could exercise before starting the day. However, we were not the only ones awake at the wee hours.
Camryn was up at 5:30am. She headed toward my room with uniform in hand at 5:45. I ushered her back to her bed and assured her that she needed to get a little more sleep. She tossed and turned until 7:00 when I finally let her get dressed. She was full of energy and very eager to get going. She had eaten breakfast and was dressed by 7:15!! Love that about her - such a morning person.
Brady, on the other hand, had a little bit of a rough start. He could not fall asleep last night, and so he was very slow moving this morning. We started waking him around 7:15, and he grumped into the living room about ten minutes later. He told me several times that he needed more sleep, and I let him know that he would get a chance to go to bed early tonight!! He finally got dressed and we headed out the door with a few minutes to spare.
Brian was supposed to have jury duty today, but they did not need him. Instead he joined us for the car ride to school. I was glad to have him with us! Camryn is now grown up, and did not want us to accompany her into school. We dropped her off in car line, and parked so we could escort Brady into his classroom. I did pretty well at the beginning, but started to get weepy as I walked out of the room. Brian could see it in my face, and that was all it took. I left Brian and Reagan, and headed out to the car to hide my tears!
Now, what to do with my day? I went to a boo hoo breakfast with some other kindergarten Moms, and then did something I have not done in a long time. I went shopping with only one child! I got some quick Christmas shopping done first, and then went to the grocery store. I love my kids dearly, but it was so nice doing this with only one attachment. I would have loved to gone the gym today, but wouldn't you know that it is closed the entire week for renovation. I'll catch up next week...
I picked up the kids this afternoon, and both had great days. Brady seemed to really miss Reagan. This is funny because he always picks on her at home. He told me he drew a picture of his family, and he only put himself and Reagan in it! He later told me it was the best day ever. Camryn had a good day as well. She already has homework - let the fun begin.
