Hello Everyone.

I am hoping this finds you well and if you are in an area that your Fall Season is getting colder, I am hoping you are staying warm.

This week, a lot of things happened that has not happened in a few years, my whole family got on one schedule. We started working early in the day, and Othniel went to school.

I was a bag of nerves prior to this week and I made sure to document how I felt after I took him to school.

Are you the parent who cries after the kiddo goes to school or are you one who says, this is life and we have to live it by doing both easy and hard things. I am hoping to be the latter parent :)

The first day I took Othniel to school I recorded my emotions or feelings. On the second day, it was hard to leave him at school, I must admit. It was hard to hear, mommy, I do not want to go to school, I want to stay with you.

You might ask, what did you tell him? I reminded him that his favorite TV characters- Catboy in PJ Masks, Clark Kent in Superman all had to go to school to learn and then save the world. It gave him a reason to think and then he calmed down and I left.

Does it get easier? I hope so. Parents/ caregivers who have had to take toddlers to school, let me know what your experiences were.

He was asked to bring a few essentials to school and I decided to make one of the items. They had asked for a blanket and I decided to make it from the stash of fabrics I had laying around. I will attach the work-in-progress and then show you the finished product.

Here is to wish you a great week and I would see you in the next episode.

God bless,

Ezanya
