Wow back to school is here already. The summer always seems to short and to have passed to fast. My kids have had a great summer doing many different things like camping, nice vacations, swimming allot and great summer camps. Now soccer practice has arrived too! One of my kids is being anxious about school and the other two are very ecstatic to get back to it.
This year we are only getting a few items for school clothes to begin with. Last year we bought alot only to find out that once they were in school and saw some of the clothing trends they did not wear some of the items we purchased. We will wait a few weeks for the rest. To start they each get a shirt a pant and a pair of shoes. They will be wearing their shorts and summer clothes at the beginning of the year.
The boys are usually never excited at all to kick off school. They dread it and really drag themselves into it. The girls seem to be allot more pumped up and into school. I know I looked at school as a waste of time. I always looked for the easy road and shortcuts. Later as an adult I realized how valuable school is. I had to play a lot of catch-up later in life with regards to my education.
Boys seem to have a real hard time with focusing. Their learning skill seems to be more of an active role than a passive sit and listen to boring lectures role.
So here we go again I guess, a new school year and I hope it is a great one and highly successful for the children as well.
