I'm sure you've noticed some changes. :-) Yep, that means my children are not homeschooled anymore! Since Alex and Sky were ready for school, I enrolled them in a catholic school with hopes that Alex would finally talk this year. We went to the kids' open house at school a couple of weeks ago to see their classrooms and meet their teachers. I got a chance to talk with both kids' teachers. Alex is talking in school but he talks very softly. At least he's talking! Also she has said that he would always answer her questions correctly so she's not concerned about anything. Sky's teacher was concerned because Sky was crying often asking for me. Once they had to ask Alex to come and help calm her down. Other than that, Sky seems to enjoy school because she comes home happy. I think with time, she'll be alright. Alex goes full time while Sky goes every Mon, Wed and alternate Fridays.

Sky is in SK and Alex is in grade 1. It was a decision I made because I felt it's the right place for him to be in. Like I've said before, if he was born two days later then that's where he would be right now. I feel that it's better for him emotionally. He's more at the same level as other children instead of trailing behind all the older students.

Things that would make anyone go awww:

One evening, the kids and I went to Tim Hortons to have some hot chocolate after seeing the doctor for Alex's chest infection. We ran into a girl Sky met at her friend's birthday party. This girl LOVED to give hugs. I mean she would hug everyone she saw. She's just so adorable!! Anyway, when it was time for her and her father to leave, she proceeded to give Sky a huge hug then me then she walked toward Alex.... (Alex does not like hugs or kisses from girls) I could see his face turning into fear then when the girl grabbed him and squeezed him, his face turned red. After she left, his face fell and he started crying. He started talking about how he hate hugs and that girls stink bad.

Whenever Sky says she wants to go home, that means she wants a hug from me. It's soo adorable how she consider our hugs as her "home" :-) It all started when she lost her temper, she demanded to go home. Even though this house is her home, she didn't feel safe when she was upset so I suggested to her to use our hugs as her home. She loved that and does that a lot now. :-)
