Leaving our home in Ohio was incredibly sad and such a whirlwind. We stayed in a hotel, first time for both kids since Nate was an infant, and flew out first thing the next morning. Neve loved every second of it all- from her big bed at teh hotel, to rolling her Dora backpack through the airport, to flying on the airplane. Nate, on the other hand, had a rough go of things, Overall he did fantastic, but the actual plane ride was hard. He HATED the seatbelt and that he had to be contained.That made takeoff and landing difficult, but otherwise the plane ride was fairly smooth. he even used the bathroom on the plane and I would have thought for sure he would be freaked out by that- that thing scares me!
We are now in a rental house, awaiting the closing of our new home at the end of August (fingers crossed). Things have been hard here- especially sleeping. Nate is confused and scared and I can't really blame him. he isn't the type of kid that rolls with things. Then, to add more to his plate, he started school. We had planned on sending him 5 days a week, part time from 8:30-12:30...BUT the schedule was announced for the typical kindergarten kids and all of their "specials" like art, computers, etc are at the very end of the day from 2:30-3:25. This is Nate's only time to be integrated with the typical children so we need to send him all day. *gulp* 7 hours is a LONGGGG day --for Nate AND for Mom and Dad. We will see how it goes.
On a brighter note, the kids have been loving the pool. It's nice to find something we can all do in the 110 degree weather!!
I am taking pictures but do not have a PC at the rental house so I will upload them soon..for now, here are some pics from my cell phone!
