Jack of All Trades

Wow, what a week it has been! And it's not even over yet! These school days are LONG days, and it's not just school. Sage started gymnastics, ballet and tap this week too. I am SO proud of how well that she has adjusted to school because it is a huge adjustment....for all of us. She has to get up at 6am, and we are out the door by about 7:10. I personally think that it's ridiculous to require elementary aged kids to be in class at 7:30 and stay until 3. I didn't have to be at school that early until I was in HIGH school, and we were out at 2:20.

The first day that we picked her up, I could see how tired that she was. As soon as she got in the car, she busted out crying, and I was mortified. I couldn't get her to tell me anything, but later she talked about how fun it was. She said that she just missed me and didn't realize that it was going to be that long of a day. Oh, and we had to wait in the car line for 45 minutes, so I think she thought that we weren't coming. She has never said that she didn't want to go back. She has already gotten treasure at school for being such a good girl too. I am proud of her.

It's odd to see how big that she is already. I still can't really process that I'm a mother of a child in school. It is exhausting too. I am in school again. I'm up at 5 something getting BOTH kids ready...it's just a crazy transition, and I've never been one to like transitions. I've never looked forward to a Saturday as much as I have this coming one. Sweet sleep will be welcomed. Oh, another cool thing about Sage is that she has been moved into the more advanced dance class for each of her classes (tap and ballet) this year. She definitely didn't get that from me. I can sing, but I sure can't dance. She is growing and excelling in so much. My "baby"....

I took these the other day at her first day of gymnastics. They are extremely blurry and out of focus, but I was far away and trying to maintain Jaggar. She took gymnastics in the summer when Jaggar was born, but it was only 8 classes. She is so excited to be taking it throughout the year. I don't think that she stopped smiling for the entire class.
