…til classes start! I am excited and nervous and a little overwhelmed by the amount I know I’ll be trying to keep up with. I’m grateful for Joey, who is being so wonderful about the prospect of dealing with AB’s evening routine - dinner, bath and bed - alone three nights a week while I’m in class. I’m taking him grocery shopping this weekend to get some easy-to-prepare dinners. Last weekend, he helped me get the alcove (the enclosed porch off the guest bedroom) set up as a study room. My pencils are sharpened, and my bookbag’s already packed for the first night of classes. (Yes, I know. N3rd. I am what I am!)
Tonight’s the last night of Gymboree before classes start. Since I have a Thursday night class, Joey will be taking AB without me starting next week. I’m really going to miss watching her learn and develop new skills from week to week. And seeing the joy on her face as she runs from one activity to another. Oh, and dinner at Jason’s Deli before her class starts. I’m gonna miss that, too. :P
