School Year 2010-2011

            It's the start of the new school year once again and I have been preparing my kids things for school for the longest time. You see my kids things for school are based on a theme and each year is a different one. My daughter chose a Hello Kitty theme and my son chose a Toy Story theme,  from the school bag, lunch bag, notebook covers, sticker labels, etc. Thank goodness for my little DIY school project. We have been searching for these school items ever since summer began and I'm happy to say that we did not have a hard time since these themes are available most often at a local bookstore. And for the bag tags or sticker labels I just made it from scratch using a photo shop software, that way ,it would be unique and they would be able to recognize their school things and materials from the rest. 
            Aside from these, It is also a start of everything first for them. My daughter would be going to a big school this year. She's in Prep Level and she told me that she was very excited to go to school and meet new friends, I just really hope that she would be very independent from the first day of the class till the end of the school year and won't throw any tantrums since her class would be very early. I just hope that she would make new friends as soon as she steps in her new classroom.
           As for my boy, he would be in Grade 2 and that means he would be having his First Holy Communion. We are all excited for this event that would be on October of this year, every time we hear mass on Sundays he would just ask if he can receive it already, I guess he is too curious on how the Host taste like.. LOL! And also the Grade 2 Level would be having their KAB Scout activity as part of their curriculum. That means they would be having a camping night at school and just by the thought of it made me feel excited and a bit worried for my little big boy. Worried, yes because of small things, like can he sleep by himself? Can he go to the washroom by himself? or worried if he can change on his own or what if he gets hungry...etc. I know... I know  I still have a separation anxiety and I do hope that I'll be able to overcome it soon, but I guess being a Mom just wouldn't let me go of that thought easily.. so I just better relax and leave the worries behind.
