Not much to update but wanted to at least write a small post. Oh my gosh school is about to start!! Wyatt is about to start all day Kindergarden at Pleasant Valley Elementary. He is super excited. He gets a big smile on his face every time I tell him how many more days until he starts. Gatlon is starting a Pre-K program at a teachers house. Sounds a little odd but is actually very cool. She is a Kindergarden teacher who decided to teach a handful of kids out of a big room in her giant house. We are excited for Gatlon to have his own independent time and know it will get him ready for real Kindergarden next year. Wyatt simply can't wait to start school and asked me how he will know if someone wants to be his friend. He's so ready to get out on his own for a few hours a day...6 hours actually! Yes I'm happy for him but also a tad sad because it obviously just means he's getting older. Wyatt and Gatlon have never gone to any kind of preschool so this will be the first time I will have to trust other people with my boys. Wyatt will go 5 days a week for 6 hours and Gatlon will go 2 days a week for 3 hours. Which brings up that for the first time in 5 years I will have some free time! Of course I will still have Briggs but gosh 1 kid running errands will be a piece of cake. Mainly though I'm happy that my boys are happy. I've been feeling guilty because I'm sorta stuck home for nap times for Briggs so the boys are limited on things to do. Parks are no longer fun and most places we go they are over. School couldn't come at a better time.
We also started swim lessons about 2 months ago and I can't believe how well both boys are doing. Thats only once a week for 30 minutes but its done wonders. Both boys can swim under water to get to the side of the pool a few feet out. They are holding their breath and learning how to "scoop". Also floating on backs. They look forward to swim lessons all week.
Briggs is all over the place. Stands up on everything and walks while holding onto things. He is starting to let go of couch and just stand then he will plop to the ground. So basically starting to get a feel for being independent. Walking is coming. Still loves to eat everything and his favorite place is the tub. Briggs loves water so we will probably start him in swim as soon as we can.
As for us parents? Just trying to keep up!! Adam is busy working and I'm busy with the boys and house and laundry and shopping and appointments and soon school drop offs and pick ups!
Life is good. I'm beyond blessed. I love all my boys. I try to not complain. I try to accept that not all things get done. My house is not always clean and picked up. Sometimes dinner is out to eat. I'm simply trying to keep up with whats important and not with anyone else. I try to remember that time is valuable and we are not guaranteed an amount. Live today Love today and pray there's a tomorrow. XOXO -Kristy
