School's Definitely In

After just 2+ weeks of school Keira is an old pro. I'm so pleased to report that she is a happy, well-adjusted kindergartener. She's making new friends, learning new things, having fun, etc. It's great knowing she's going to have a wonderful day every time we drop her off and to have that validated when we pick her up.

Keira is fortunate to be in Ms. Franzen's class AND be able to join Ms. Bauer's class for math and reading as a joint teaching effort. She sees it as an opportunity to meet that many more friends.

We continue to struggle with breakfast, lunch and snacks...Keira has a very limited palate, so I've had to become comfortable with letting her eat the same things over and over again. While I occasionally get the reprieve from packing lunches when she agrees to eat school lunch, on the whole, it's kind of a pain to figure out what to pack for her day after day. So, for any of my blog readers out there, let me know what suggestions you have. Or, feel free to tell me it's okay to let her eat the same stuff all the time. For now, I'm just going with that to make things easier - for Mark and me, anyway.

Since the start of school our household has really had to buckle down and stick to a new routine. It's tough! With my 1+ hour commute from work each way and Mark's long days a work, it's a constant circus juggling our schedules, but we're slowly finding our rhythm. The good news is that when Keira goes to bed, it doesn't take long for her to completely pass out and fall asleep leaving her energized and ready for another start to the school day!
