Yesterday I accepted an offer for Riley to attend Westgate Alternative Elementary school next year. The lottery process has been extremely stressful for me, but I'm really happy with the results and have a peace about Riley attending kindergarten here next year. I still can't believe he's going to be in kindergarten. Westgate is close to Franklinton and I was really impressed when I visited the school and met with the principal earlier this winter. I'm not ready for him to be in school all day. If the schedule stays the same for Columbus Public next year, he'll be in school from 9:30-3:45. This seems like a really long day to me, but I'm sure we'll adjust. I know it will probably be harder for me than it will be for him. I'll miss his company during the day, I know Trey will too. I don't like thinking about him there all day. It seems like this has happened to quickly, what happened to my baby boy. Trey will be in preschool 4 mornings each week at Gladden Community Center. It is right around the corner from our new house. If you happen to see a copy of Columbus Monthly check out the article about this preschool. It's been rated the best preschool in Franklin County, and it's right in Franklinton! So, my two big boys will be in school and I'll have some time with Evan. I'm looking forward to summer break with all three of them before we have to adjust to this new school schedule in the fall.
Evan is a crazy man. He's my little buddy right now. He's into EVERYTHING! He's developed his own personality and he's so much fun to play with. He loves to laugh and smile, and can already through a good tantrum. He trys to wrestle with his brothers, which is just about the cutest thing you've ever seen. We're constantly having to remind Riley and Trey to be gentle with him because he's always trying to get in the middle of all the action.
Today was rough, stuck inside because of the rain. We've been spending so much time outside lately. It's supposed to be ugly again tomorrow, so I think we'll head to COSI.
Goodnight.
