Kids starting school
Yes! Both of them. Registration is tomorrow, and I can not believe they will both be in school this year. It is crazy to think that I have two kids in school. Cameron will be in Kindergarten, and Emele will be starting Pre-K. Although I am excited that this means mommy is going back to work, I am nervous as well. There is so much that comes with them starting school. I am worried about the stress that comes with being in school. Pressure from peers, the bad habbits learned, making friends, losing firends, learning... I want the best for them. I want to be able to protect them from the scary world, and I can not do that when they are at school. I can just pray that I have brought them up well enough to this point to make good decisions. Cameron has had some anxiety about starting school. He is worried that he will not be as smart as the other kids, and that he will not make friends like the ones he had in California. Tonight we had a long chat about how intelegent and likeable he is. I had him tell me what he liked about his friend sthat he left behind and why he thought they liked him. Then he realized there are a lot of things about him that would make others kids want to be friends with him. He aslo realized that he is smart. he can write his name, count, knows his alphabet, days of the week, and so much more. I hope that I gave him a little confidence. Em, she is totally on board just as long as she doesn't have to get any shots. LOL! So now, I need to get on board.
