And School is Out of Session

It's official. School is out for summer break!!! YEEEE HAWWWW!!!! I have year one at new school and grade level under my belt. I'd say it was a pretty successful year with a few minor bumps on the road. I was really apprehensive of going down a grade. With them being less independent, learning a new curriculum, and all the other emotional shenanigans that come with 2nd graders, I didn't know how the year would go. But they proved me wrong and they surpass all my expectations. They're super smart, more independent than I had imagined, and still had all their sweetness and innocence. That was my favorite part. They still enjoyed helping you out and pleasing you, and still looooved to do all the little things for me like drawing me pictures and giving me hugs.

But that's not to say that I haven't been looking forward to this day for a loooong time! Once that bell rang at 11:50, I rushed home to my 2 loves of my life!

I can't wait to spend a whole summer with this little one! It's going to be hard couple of weeks learning each other's behaviors and signals, getting used to new early morning routines, and most of all, potty training this little rascal. It's going to be just you and me little monster!!
