Yesterday was chaotic. I felt like I was spinning from the moment I rolled out of bed until I finally waved the white flag for the night. I really thought that we would have fallen into a comfortable groove with the new school year by now. I feel as frazzled as I did when we started in August. I keep hoping that everything will settle, but as we get ready to turn the page of the calendar, my hope is dwindling.
Even though I feel as if I'm swimming in chaos, Timmy has fallen into the routine of school. He enjoys Circle Time, Reading Circle and Craft Class each week. He is increasingly independent in all of them, which frees me up to work on other things. Even though he is able to participate in the classes without my assistance, I try to stay in the same room (but off camera) in case technical issues arise.
Being in the same room during his classes does offer the benefit of my being able to overhear his interactions. I must say, my little guy doesn't shy away from speaking his mind. Yesterday the teacher was talking about going to Disneyland and meeting Mickey Mouse.
All of the students happily proclaimed their love and adoration for the Magic Kingdom. When the teacher asked Timmy if he has visited Disney, he didn't hesitate to offer his real opinion. "I have not been to Disneyland. I don't like that big mouse. If I saw that big mouse (Mickey) I would feed him to a snake."
Hmmm... I guess I'll cross a trip to Disney off our family bucket list.
