Well we survived it, more like I survived it, Olivia's first day of Pre-K which was already a week and a half ago. I'm not sure what Olivia was thinking on that day. I had been trying to get her really excited to go. But the week before she would have "tummy aches." I finally asked her if she was nervous about starting school, and she said she was. I'm not even sure she knows what nervous is. Anyway we took her to her open house and she met her teacher, who just happens to be the same teacher I had in kindergarten, so I know she is in good hands. She was shown where she would hang her back, her spot on the circle rug and which chair she would sit in (a yellow one). So the day came and we walked her to school and she was excited to do some puzzles and I was excited to hear about her day. I only shed one tear so I was pretty proud of myself. I will save the water works for Kindergarten I think. I was kind of looking forward to having a small break from her during the day. Don't get me wrong I love her to death, but she can get on my nerves sometimes.
So Chris and I go to pick her up from the first day and she won't say much, but man is she grumpy. Finally we got out of her what she thought of school and all she would say was it was kind of boring. Man we are in trouble if she thinks Pre-K is boring. So the next day she says the same thing. But this week she sounded like she had fun. She got to paint and go to the library and bring home a book. She informed me I had to keep the book in a special place so the dog wouldn't eat it.
I ask her about her day after school everyday and I don't know if what she is telling me really happened. Some of it sounds pretty made up to me, it's like she is creating her own language. I figure if she tells me the same thing two days in a row then I will believe it! I just want to follow her around for a day to see what she actually does.
When she gets home from school she is always super hungry, so I guess that means I will need to get more snacks in the house. She has also had some trouble going to sleep a couple of nights. But I think we got that taken care of, at least I hope.
Saige is enjoying the mommy and me time. I am enjoying it too since she mainly naps when Olivia is at school so I can nap too!! Saige's face lights up into the biggest smile when she see's Olivia come out of school each day. She misses her big sister that is for sure. And I know Asher is looking down on Olivia and keeping her safe on the playground and every where she goes. I know when what should of been his first day of school rolls around I will for sure be a mess. But we can cross that bridge when it comes.
Saige is now rolling from her back to her tummy. And she does it all the time. I know she knows how to roll the other way too, but she has figured out that if she screams someone will come get her. She still isn't sleeping through the night I try to let her cry it out which breaks my heart, but Olivia wakes up and starts screaming to come get her. So that is not working. Olivia is kind of a light sleeper so we will get there.
The sell of the house is still moving along. We still don't have anything planned on what house we will buy. We have one we like, but we need to save some money for a couple of months first. I can't wait for the girls to have their own rooms and own space. I still want another baby, really want that boy, but that is still up for debate and for sure at least a year down the road. I have some doctor changes coming my way so we will see how that goes when the time comes.
Summer is coming to an end and I am excited for the things that fall will bring for us. Moving to a new house hopefully and Olivia will be starting soccer and Sunday school again. Even though she is only in Pre-K we will for sure be busy parents as I want her to be as involved as she wants to be. She is officially a Rocket!!!
