Summer break is officially over.

Last week Thursday the kids started school. The kids slept at 8pm sharp a day before they start school. They were looking forward to sleep because they were exhausted. We had a movie date and had loads of playtime in the mall. You can read about our movie date here if you want.
I was hoping to do a 5ish km before I start the day but I only managed to kick the blankets at about 6am. I was not going to be able to drop them on time should I start with 5km run, so I settled for a quicker route of 3km. My sweaty face and happy kiddo (Zee is extremely happy. I swear. Ha!).
The miles went on fast because I was thinking about Zee. She has reached few mile stones during the December holidays. The main milestone is that she is now potty trained. It is a bitter sweet milestone for her. She is happy that she can wear big girl panties but at times she find it to be a huge responsibility. Sometimes she just does not want to go to the bathroom and she will cry for a diaper. She is very aware that she can do as she please when wearing a diaper. Clever girl.
It is going to be a total new experience for her to be using school bathrooms regularly. I packed enough clothing for her incase of accidents.
When we were all ready and about to get to a car Muli said “Lets walk Mommy. Working is much better than driving”. Wow, I was impressed at her brilliant idea. I was not back at work yet so why not I had all the time.
Zee was excited about walking but she had doubts about going back to school. I could not blame her, who does not have mixed feelings about going back to work after a looong and fun holidays. Not me atleast.
She cried when we said our goodbyes. I felt like scooping her and take her back home with me but I could not because she had to get over a FIRST DAY before she can fully enjoy the second, third and more days to come at school. We left quickly hoping that she will settle in a second.
Muli was very excited because it was not her first day of school yet. She was going to a daycare. That means lots of playtime with friends. She talked all the way to school.
When I got home, the house was very quite without their lughter. I missed them. I then went to the shops to buy Zee stationary. Which one is better?. The old plastic book cover or the ready made fit. I know your answer already but why did I buy the old plastic book cover?.
Have a great day further.
Take care,
