NEW STEPS: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL.
Posted by: Infinity in NEW STEPS., FAMILY., HAWAII., LIFE.Today is our littlest soul’s first day of school. There are many emotions churning to say the least. He’s only 3! A well and capable 3 year old, but still we know his habits (both good and mischevious), we know his comfort zone (within 3 feet of Mommy and NEENZ), we can decipher his story telling when he’s merged an episode of Thomas the Train with the storyline to Cars the Movie, and the Chili’s commercial, “Welcome to Chili’s! Kachow! Choo Choo!”
There are no second thoughts at our decision to send him to school, it’s absolutely necessary just as a Flintstone chewables vitamin, if you don’t take it you’ll be okay, if you do, YABBA DABBA DOO! It is our goal to prepare our children for their lives ahead, to make all decisions in their best interest with their input taken into consideration. (Everything is negotiable in our household, even this statement.). This includes providing finances for their development through tutoring, sports, dance, art, etc. This includes eliminating our “adult behavior” and committing our full body, mind and soul to them and not a half-hearted, hung over, here’s a bowl of cereal now go watch tv attitude.
In retrospect, throughout the toilet training preparation requirement for school; identifying colors, shapes, and numbers; reciting the alphabet; matching a pair of shorts with his shirt; a lot of hugs and kisses; explaining the importance of school and the fact that his 3 feet comfort zone will be adjusted by a few thousand feet; as parents we’ve been preparing ourselves too.
There are many emotions churning to say the least. We’re rejoicing. We’re proud. We’re confident in him and our decision. (God and all entities that be, please don’t let him get hurt). IMUA KAMEHAMEHA!
