Hudson’s 1st day of school!

Hudson is off to his first day of preschool! I can’t believe it. He is going three days a week just in the morning…and I’ve been patiently counting down the days until it starts! 

His preschool is located on a farm, so the kids spend their day doing all the typical preschool stuff but also help take care of the animals on the farm (a cow, chickens, horses, goats, sheep…you name it!), grow veggies in the garden, and do nature walks outside. Hudson has been talking about it for MONTHS so we are so excited the day is finally here!

The teachers come right up to the car line and take your kid out of your car for you….which was good for me because Hudson had no time to get scared and cry. I purposely didn’t prep him about this step knowing that the element of surprise would help him not cry. That either makes me the smartest or meanest mommy ever….but I know from experience that he struggles with drop off, so this solution was made for us!
I can’t wait to pick him up and hear all about his day.

To manage stress, I try to take frequent breaks, remember to smile and laugh every day, carve out some alone time every morning, exercise daily, and turn to friends and other resources available to me if I need extra support.

Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle. That’s the word I’ve chosen for 2021. Gentle with my children. Gentle with my family. Gentle with myself. Gentle with those who believe differently than I do. Couldn’t we all use a little more gentleness? After 8 years of raising babies and a crazy 2020 it’s what my mind, body, and soul needs. And my kids and family need it from me too. Have you chosen a word for 2021? If so, let me know what it is! (and thank you @bluegrassred for the word inspo! I heard her talk about it a few times on @pantsuitpolitics and I couldn’t get it out of my head. Exactly what I need for this year!)
