Week two has gone really well. I feel like we're beginning to find a groove. I've let go of some of my public school baggage. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say I've loosed my grip on some of my public school baggage! By far the most important lesson I am learning is how to talk to Brooklyn after she's been at school all day. A couple of questions about key things are plenty to get the conversation started, but too much peppering and the story gets lost in her fertile imagination. What's also neat is the stories that come out through her play. In watching her pretend to be the teacher I can see Mrs. Pope come to life in my living room!
The day is still long and she is exhausted. I spent this week getting into car line between 1:30 and 1:45. It's an hour wait for me (and Grayson), but it means she is among the first kids released, which she loves, and we're home by 2:30. I would love for dinner, clean up, bath, and bed time to not be marked by tears and tantrums.
Even so, I think things are going well.
