Dekker’s first day of school went smoothly, I’m pleased to report! He liked his teacher, was happy to have some of his friends back in class, and talked nonstop about the kids that were to new to him this year. Coincidently, he’s set up to sit beside kids that he’s never shared a class with, and thankfully he’s all for it!
All I know from his first day is that they had a welcome assembly. Thats it. This isn’t unheard of, though. It used to drive me CRAZY when he wouldn’t tell me whats going on at school, but its usually proven to be at a time when he’s a bit overwhelmed with ALL thats going on. Not even overwhelmed in a bad way, but just so so much that he can’t really sort out his thoughts. I’m positive it’ll come 🙂
Today, I walked him to school, just the two of us. He chattered away the entire time, excited to go back. He is totally capable of walking to school on his own, thats for sure! Likely, soon enough, he and Laela will walk together with no issue. But I’m enjoying the process of getting that ball rolling by walking with him myself, and soon with both of them, and likely the whole crew. Brady having a few days off couldn’t have fallen at a better time!
Once Dekker was dropped off, I walked home, had a cup of coffee with Brady, and headed out to get my hair redone. Its been about three months now and it was time for a refresh! I spent a morning and a bit of the afternoon at the salon, which is always SUCH a treat! Sometimes I wish I could get my hair redone more often, but its something I really look forward to, so its probably good that I only get there a few times a year. Was sure a great way to spend an afternoon, though!
The fun must go on, however! The rest of our day is nice and full, and tomorrow is much of the same busyness! And I mean that in a great way! I like when the days fill, but aren’t full full. Just nice full, with good things. There is so much to be thankful for!
