It’s not like anything else happened today, right? I had taken Tuesday and Wednesday off work to accompany the kids down to school. It’s been a tradition in the past for me to have the whole week off, but complications with scheduling didn’t allow me to do the whole week this year.
Yesterday, we got to go meet all of the kids teachers at back-to-school night. Jeremy was our first repeat teacher, Mrs Peterson. We liked her when she taught Ethan, and we’re glad she gets to be Jeremy’s teacher. Tyra has Mrs Nelson this year, and when we went to her class, we explained we were concerned about Tyra’s focus and learning issues, and she said she would look out for them. Ethan has Mrs Cunningham this year; we don’t know much about her, but Ethan typically gets along well with his teachers.
So, Rebecca pulled a surprise on us by having a little baby during the night. At back-to-school night, she actually started having contractions, but didn’t tell anyone. Now I got the joy of waking up early (is it really waking up? I’m not even sure if I got to sleep..) and getting the oldest three ready and out the door. Surprisingly, all the kids were awake by about 6am and ready well before 7, which helped. Lunches made, breakfast fed, backpacks on, and the younger kids were all loaded up and ready for the first-day walk to accompany our three full-time students!
Gotta show off the younger ones as well, since they made the trip down…
