While I am very glad my eldest is enjoying her foray into high school, I'm hoping all the things she seems so keen on doing aren't too much.
She is on the swim team, with the first training session today. She's also signed up for ice skating during sport - that will start in a couple of weeks. She's joined up with the fundraising club and is apparently very keen to help out with bbq's etc (she must get that from her father as I just don't.do.selling.food - at all). Add to that choir and she was looking at the possibility of backstage work with the musical... I'm trying to work out where my shy and introverted child has gone.
Homework is pretty full-on, but for now she is handling it. I'm also being pretty hard on her and the boy because I want (and need) them to get a habit-based routine in place that they can eventually follow if I'm not around to make sure they get things done. I'm being hopefully optimistic that they'll have something sorted within 6 months?? Please.
The small boy auditioned for and got into the performance choir at his primary school. And has now decided to have a go at learning trumpet. As a former trumpeter, this pleases me immensely. Maybe now we can sell or give away those horrid violins that I have no idea how to play.
They both run once a week and swim in the backyard pool at least 5x a week at the moment while the weather is perfect for it. And the girl has youth group once a week and the boy has a junior youth group once a fortnight.
They are both growing up...
Maybe we can sleep in tomorrow.
