We’re all so ready for school to start, but as our year and a half of being home together draws to an end it’s hard not to see the gifts it has given us…and that we’ll miss some of it.
Never again will I say we didn’t get good use out of every toy, book, art supply, set, sensory bin, OT equipment, and space that we own.
The boys got really good at finding things they hadn’t played with for a few months and making it new again.
I didn’t even try to keep track of how many books they’ve read while at home. They check out around 50 books a week from the library.
We’ve done a lot of porch sitting, water play, swinging, mud digging, and backyard picnics with friends.
The ordinary quickly became special adventures…like mini golfing with new classmates.
Things I would’ve been hesitant to allow before became daily occurrences. Go ahead. Have a pool noodle fight.
The littles will be a bit lost at first without the bigs around. I think I will too.
