School has begun!

This school year, I have resolved to be the most organized. I've even made our schedule and posted it to the fridge. I know what you're thinking, and yes, I was worried that having a schedule would result in us never having fun time... but I was wrong! Day two of our scheduled life, and everyone was on time! We even walked him to school today!

Ben wakes up earlier than Z and I do. He showers, dresses, and enjoys his morning coffee.
Z and I wake up around 7:00am.(this is a feat.. I would easily sleep until 10!) Z dresses immediately, while I make PANCAKES (yes, on the first school day!) for breakfast and we have time to sit and enjoy breakfast together.

Fast forward. Everyone is dressed and ready to leave on time. We both got to take Z to his first day of school. He was pretty excited... and man, did he look cute in his uniform!



After school, we went to meet with Randy, Z's counselor. Came home, had dinner and even had an hour to go on a walk after dinner before Z's shower and "bed time routine" (which now includes Z reading to himself most days... last night, he read for almost 40 minutes!)

Everything was done by 8:30, giving Ben and I time to catch up and talk about our day.

Like I said, this morning we even had time to walk Z to school! Let's hope once activities begin, we can keep it up!
