First day of school

School is back!  Isaiah is in grade two this year and Adam started kindergarten!  Adam absolutely loved preschool and has been anticipating his kindergarten year with excitement.  Adam has amazed me these last few months.  He has such a sharp mind and is so efficient.  Every morning so far, he makes sure his water bottle is in his back pack.  Upon arrival to school, he is quick to put his backpack on the hook and change into his inside shoes before sitting on the carpet.  He comes home singing the French songs he learned that day.  He tells me he LOVES school.  He said "Mom, the teacher even took us to the bookstore and paid for all of the books!"  Haha I love him.  I feel really happy that Adam is so enthusiastic about school because Isaiah's kindergarten year was really tough.  Maybe it was partly because Isaiah was sick but I also think that every child is so different in personality and maybe Isaiah wasn't quite ready for school.  This year however, Isaiah is very happy to be back.  He was especially excited to go to school this morning because he said some of the kids would be trading Pokemon cards at recess time.  Haha, oh the fads!  I wonder what he'll be into next year, or next month?
 

 It already feels strange with only two around the home after having all summer with all of them.  I'm really enjoying my time with Victoria and Levi.  It's especially nice to have more time with Victoria one-on-one.

She is growing up so quickly.  She is really into playdoh at the moment.  She rarely wants to play alone but playdoh seems to be a hit.  I took her to Strong Start on Monday and she is really coming out of her shell.  She loved singing songs and dancing with the other children.  I'm so excited to create special memories with her this year.

Levi just popped out his first tooth and is army crawling all over the place.  He is very fast.  I'm sure he'll be crawling on all fours in no time.  He is full of smiles all the time and has been a dream baby.

Loving my time as a stay at home mom!  Although I am incredibly exhausted at the end of the day, I try to remind myself how quickly time passes and I know one day I will long for the time my little ones were all around me.  I am so thankful God has blessed me with these special gifts.
