Birthday and Mother's Day



I have just turned 30 years old, registered my eldest for kindergarten, and had a very fruitful mother's day. Things have been going pretty well for us lately. I am in bootcamp from 6am to 640am thanks to my husband (as my 30th birthday present), so I get to start the day off with a workout OUTSIDE with NO kids. . . and I have been able to get Decker to the car without a fight, just a little refusal. Jay and I are connecting more often and not just talking about the kids when we see each other.

But I still worry about what will happen for Decker in school. Is the teacher going to be able to keep him interested? Is he going to make friends? Is he going to get kicked out of school for fighting? What will life be like when Decker is gone 6 hours a day 5 days a week? I just hope he has a good time and WANTS to go to school everyday.

Hannelore is growing a lot. I thought she was going to potty learn a few months ago, but she has set that aside and is concentrating on imitating who she will be as an adult (it is more "girly" than I am, so I think she is making a lot of it up as she goes).

These are calm times, and I am trying to settle into them with grace. . . any change is hard, even the good kind.
