New Schools

We are trying a new school this year for Olivia. She wasn't excited about school last year in the program she was attending. Very sad each day she attended so we stopped for the summer and started looking for a new fit. We toured a few places and decided on a preschool associated with a local church. It was a good fit for all of us since they allow for a full day program and flexibility on days. For two working parents that is just what we needed.
She was nervous her first day but didn't hesitate letting go of my hand as we walked in the room. I knew it was a good sign. She used to cling to my leg and often cry at the old school. We made the right choice.

Of course Owen loves to support his little sister. Giving her encouragement. Walking her to class. Helping her be brave. What an amazing pair!

She attends 2 days a week and each morning she asks if she gets to go to school that day. She is really enjoying her time there. So much so we might have to increase her school days to 3! Her teacher is great and I am so proud of how well she is doing.

She loves to learn and loves to work. She asks daily if she can do homework. She sees the work we do with Owen and wants to do it to.
Work like cutting and writing is hard for Owen so he often avoids it. I am thankful that Olivia likes it so much so we can show Owen that it can be "fun". Some days it works. Some days it doesn't but having someone to model for him is a huge help.

 

 

We also enrolled the kids into Sunday school this year. Hoping Owen would be old enough to be able to participate and not be too much of a distraction. Due to so many busy fall weekends we have only made it to one class. But they both did very well and I am excited to get them to be part of the program. Best part is one of Owen's classmates from school is in his Sunday school class!
