I guess I'm a bit of both. We really had a great summer, with minimal tantrums and fights...and the kids were pretty good too hahaha. So, as much as I'm kind of looking forward to a little bit quieter house during the day, and dare I hope?, possibly even afternoon naps sometimes, I think I'll miss the big, smelly, loud, crazy, funny, perpetually bored monkeys. But then I'll take a nap and I image I'll feel much better.
Speaking of school, Moira has been pretty upset that she doesn't get to go this year. I think she just wants the backpack and other cute accessories. I've told her that she can not go to school until she learns her numbers, letters, colors and shapes. It really was starting to worry me, because by 3 years old all the boys knew all of that. And yes, I know you can not compare your kids to each other, but darn it you know you do anyway! I finally came to the conclusion that I think she does know all that...she just doesn't want me to know that she knows. She will give the correct answers when it suits her to do so. I told her that I was going to start teaching her all this stuff so that she could go to school next year. So I guess I'm a teacher this year, and I have the flashcards to prove it. I just hope she brings me chocolate instead of an apple.
