It’s so scary how time flies.
I’m sure parents around the world constantly say that about their children. But seriously it is. Beginning of February I finally enrolled Nyx into Kindergarten. I know he’s been attending Preschool for the last 2 years and I should be used to the idea that he is in school, but Kindergarten? That’s a whole new story. A completely different level. And a WHOLE NEW milestone.
A milestone I’m not too sure I’m even ready for.
When we can I drive by the school to show Nyx where he is going to school next year. Now he recognizes the school no matter. He screams with delight, “Mom! That’s where my Kindergarten is going to be. I want to go to kindergarten there mom!”
I absolutely love his enthusiasm for school, his eagerness to learn, and his strong will to want to meet and make new friends. But what does that mean? It’s practically setting in stone that Nyx really is a big kid. Before I know he will be graduating from high school and marry some girl I probably will hate deep down inside because she is stealing my baby.
To top things off we are moving into a new house. Still renting, but its a house this time. Around the same size, maybe a little bigger, than our apartment now. Granted $300 more. Plus side of it, its in a nice quiet neighborhood, we have a yard and a garage. So the pros most definitely out weighs the cons.
Since learning that we are moving into a house Nyx has been rather anxious to move in. His friends, especially Erin, is literally around the corner. He finally get a bike to ride around the neighborhood and use his Escalade a lot more now.
In all things with him has been pretty good actually. Now that it’s March I need to get a hold of the Kumon lady for Nyx’s math and reading tutoring. If the ‘myth’ of being the youngest in his class is true, then I’m going to make sure he is prepared and doesn’t fall behind.
So Kumon and A+ here we come!
