Back to (Play) School

My daughters attend a playgroup at the elementary school in a neighboring town. It is only available during the school year. During the holidays us moms are left to fend for ourselves. I must say that it became quite a challenge with my 2 yo. She was very hard to entertain and as a result of boredom, often got into trouble.

Now that she is back on schedule, she is much easier to tolerate, easy to entertain, and noticeably happy. This morning she woke up asking if we were going to school but today is an off day.

Her younger sister has no problems with playgroup. Turns out she is just a go with the flow kind of gal. At school she gets right into playing and mingling. A very confident and independent young lady. So funny because as a young baby she would not let anyone other than myself keep her. Part of the reason why I decided to stay at home with them. Sarah on the other hand is a bit shy and reserved at first, but once acclimated she gets down to playing, mostly by herself. (Parallel play).

I can't wait for them to begin full day school. School is a haven for both parents and kids alike.
