Does not mean that I neglect other aspects of my life!
Quite the opposite actually!
We are back into the full swing of Autumn, school has started my SK kid is right back into the routine of school. It's different this year, he has HOMEWORK! That dreaded word that makes parents and kids alike shiver with dread. It's not that intense, but I can see it coming down the road.
The focus right now seems to be developing printing skills, working on letters, colours, lots more focus on French, on chante beaucoup en français, and to my surprise, safety! Safety rules at school, fire safety, our family has now talked about a safety plan in terms of having a fire in the home, J does not quite understand about not stopping to put shoes on if there is a real emergency, but we're working on it! He knows where all the smoke alarms are and also what the CO detector is for.
Work is work, it's busy busy and going to be more so over the next few months. My boss is retiring, happily for her and sadly for the rest of us. Her work will have to be absorbed partly by us and partly by other management. It's not looking like they will replace her. C'est la vie.
We are back into swimming lessons. I have a front crawler! His skills are coming along so well! Seeing lots more of his head in the water which was always really challenging for him, but he's realizing now that he can swim much faster with his face in the water. He's bringing his arms out of the water and starting to resemble more of a fish than a boy!
Halloween is on the horizon and then shortly after it will be Christmas. Where the heck does the time go? Life is moving way too fast.
"Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of eighty and gradually approach eighteen." Mark Twain
