Have I mention that BOTH kids are going to preschool very soon?! Like, NEXT WEEK. Seb attended preschool last year before we moved. Last year it took him nearly 2 months to get over the anxiety/fear and actually enjoy going to school. I anticipate something similar will happen with him as it will be a new school. Poor child, he has such problems making adjustments.

Also, Fiona will be attending the TWOS program. The first day of school is the day before her actual 2nd birthday. Hubby thinks it is too early to enroll her. However, you might think I’m biased here but I think she is extremely advanced for her age as she has an older sibling to learn from. Her large and fine motor skills are excellent as are her vocabularies and verbal skills. The girl can sing about 10 or 15 nursery rhymes!

As she is younger, and is less fearful / dependent than Seb, she might adjust very quickly. However, she is the type who internalizes a lot of her emotions and the type who sobs silent tears, with puppy watery eyes. Sad pitiful and just makes you want to hug and hold her and never letting go.

So yea. It will be a rather FUN (not) adjustment period in the next couple of weeks. I’m hopeful both of them will enjoy it immensely, once they get over the anxiety/fear/newness. Seb’s is 3 days while Fiona’s is 2 days per week. They will both be at the same preschool so hopefully that will help with logistics. The school is further away than we would like, but we registered late and all the ones close to our house are very full to the brim. I couldn’t believe how far down in the waiting list we are with some schools!

Can still remember the days when they spit up and smelled like a baby. Or when they first rolled over. Or when that first tooth poked through. Time flies by and they grow up so fast. Sigh.
