wrapping up

It's June and we are officially on the count down to Summer and all the wonderful times that it will bring.  The kids have been practicing their Montessori graduation songs for some time and with this grad comes the end of time with Montessori. In many ways it will be very difficult to say good bye. The kids, Cody and I have made wonderful friends there. It will on the flip side be grand to be within our community (including a bunch of kids on our street) and walk together every day down and then back up the hill rather than our current long drive.

This morning we took both of them by their elementary school in order to go on a bus ride.  Really we're just trying to give them every chance we can to familiarize themselves with the faces and place.  Kate talks a good game, purporting that she cannot wait, I think, in fact, both of them are going to have very shy first days. This Friday, will mark Elliott's first actual day (hour) in his Kindergarten class.  Unfortunately we have been away for his previous two opportunities. I think it's safe to say that I'm much more excited than he is.

I constantly find myself thinking of our two kiddos as much older than they truly are. Seeing them seated together on the bus this morning, taking up less than half the seat, was another reminder that these babies of ours are just starting their journey. They were darling. Cody and I couldn't prouder. Well, maybe if they could wipe their bums a little better and remember their present task for longer than 3.5 seconds we could in fact be a little prouder. 

Kisses to all three of my babies and a pat to Boo. AJ
