Moving up & New Beginnings..

Hi Artsy Friends Stopping In Today...

It’s a very GLOOMY day here in the Bean!!

TGTomorrowISFriday!!!It’s been raining for the last 3days!!

I’m praying for some pockets full of sunshine over the weekend!!

Today was a rather BIG BIG day for both of my lovely lil Moon’s..

Caley officially started FIFTH GRADE TODAY!

(YES – You Guessed it!!! – I’m Feeling RATHER OLD!)

I was soo impressed at how cool and collect he was this

morning getting ready.. I felt so silly for being the only one a bit
nervous about the 5^th grade. I tend to think boys have a tough
time in school with fitting in and having to deal with all that
testosterone surrounding their species. I get so nervous of
all the "things" that could happen in school, ie. peer pressure,
GIRLS, G I R L S (I have to share his BUS STOP STORIES
someday!! SMH!!I have issues already, everyone wants to "sit
and share with Caley" & I SERIOUSLY SIDE EYE THEM
ALL!! lol!!) gradually forming into his own man, picking friends,
behavior, grades …oh the list is endless!! With all of that on my
plate this morning, I dropped him off and before he got out to hop
on the bus, he said "thanks mom", I looked at him and said, "for
what hon..?" a bit confused, he smiled and said "for staying up and
helping to get everything ready for me today, and stop worrying,
I’ll be just fine, it’s just the 5^th grade!!!".. I just LOVE MY SON!!

Cheers to the all the FIFTH GRADERS
STARTING SCHOOL THIS FALL!!

Hope your lil ones have an amazing school term!!!

New Beginnings….

Sia also had a very BIG day today!!

She entered the "Primary Education" school world TODAY!!

She’s officially 18months now!!! It was so exciting to see
her in her little uniform and all dolled up for school this morning.
Getting her ready was a BIG DEAL for the whole house.. Hahaa!

We where all soo anxious to see how she’ll adapt to her new
surroundings and mingle with all her lovely new little peers within
her classroom. SHE DID GREAT!!! I went in with her for a little
over an hour, played with the class, did some creative art time,
and sung with them for a quiet sometime. They made it a point to
make sure I didn’t sneak out but instead say bye to her properly!!

This was EXTREME!! Sia HATES when I pick up my bag & keys,
she automatically always associates it with leaving, and the minute
I did that and went down to say goodbye to her, ALL HELL
BROKE LOOSE!!! YES – SHE CRIED!!! & I GAVE
IN AND UUUM CRIED OF COURSE!!!! SMH!!

Her teacher took her a min after, and I walked off and STOOD
at the door for about five minutes (listening to her cry – SO SAD!!)
and then gradually walked away.. I called ten minutes later and she
was laughing and playing around with the class!!! KIDS – They
bounce back so quick!! Her new teacher Ms. Brown said"I told
 you she’ll be fine in about five mins or so, see..? now don’t
become one of those every hour calling in parents.. lol, she’ll
be just fine with us here, I promise!" Well, that helped a billion..
It took forever to pick a school for her, and I can’t express how
much I am SO comfortable knowing she’s in great hands, and
will be picking up new and exciting things within her fun
adventurous school days ahead!! Yaaye!!

What A Day!!! Great Accomplishments & Big Steps!!

Are your little ones back in school..? How was the transition from
summer to school days..? What fun grades are you in this year..?

look forward to..? SHARE PWEEASE!!

Hope you are all having a terrific day and
thanks so much for stopping in as always!!
