School days

Girlie started the second grade and I can already tell it is going to be a fantastic year. She got a great teacher, her best friend is in her class, and it looks like they have tons of great things lined up, including a family camping trip at the end of September. I have worked out a carpool agreement with a friend so I am taking her every morning, and my friend is picking her up. Not only do I get to avoid the afternoon heat, I also don't have to pry Little Guy out of his nap to get there on time.

Next week, Little Guy will be starting a half day program two days a week. We went to the orientation this week and he seemed like such a big little person as he explored the room. I know there will be some tears when I actually leave him there, but I think he'll enjoy the activities.

At some point in the very near future, I will be in my house alone. I plan to throw on some heels and apron, channeling my inner housewife. Isn't that really what we all picture staying at home to be like? Baking cookies, chatting with girlfriends on the phone, feather duster in hand, nary a child in sight...

Anyone want to come over for a champagne toast?
