Kindergarten Woes for a Paranoid Momma

We registered our EA/TEF baby for kindergarten yesterday! I am both excited and nervous about this milestone. I'm sure that I'm feeling a swirl of emotions most moms can relate too, but for my middle child, this represents a huge shift. A little more jarring than my first borns' first day of kinder. Just a tad.

I've joked about going to school with her the entire first week. Truth be told, I'm more serious about that than I thought! I caught myself putting childcare plans in place for my "baby" (who is two by the way, but will forever be referred to as "the baby").

Sure, Tatiana has been in childcare and has been in a half-day preschool program leading up to this. Then again, those were super small environments where I was able to "fully brief" the staff on her history, needs, and quirks, being careful not to freak them out too much, while giving them enough to keep myself from freaking out a whole lot!

In case you're wondering, I printed a ten page attachment for her kinder registration. Then, I came to my senses, and I remembered a link I had come across with a handy dandy caregiver's guide (two pages and here is the link: http://www.eatef.org/node/4).

I have a few months left before the big day to freak myself out some more and maybe make some peace with my tendency to worry til the cows come home. It's only March, after all, and her first day of kinder won't be til the end of August. I still have an entire summer of fun-filled mommy adventures to distract me! For now, I'll keep reminding myself to live in the moment, cherishing the laughter, the shenanigans, and the tantrums - oh the tantrums!

Can't wait to hear about all the shenanigans!! I'm sure they will be entertaining and enjoyable to read about.

    Throughout the process of navigating Tatiana's Journey, I came to realize how critical the creative process has been to preserving my own sanity -- from writing, to crafting, to sewing, and everything in between! In that spirit, I've decided to share some of my work in this space that has so often helped me make sense of my own journey. That's me and the big sis up there just in case you need a face to attach to the voice you find here. ;)

    Evolution of this Blog

    In those early, overwhelming moments, and into the present, several people have asked about Tatiana's condition and the events surrounding her birth.  This blog is, in part, my attempt to share what I can in an accessible space.  It is also my way of creating a written record that celebrates the miracles and and triumphs of life.

    This is, of course, a work in progress.  Writing is therapy and life happens, so bear with me as I go back in time to fill in the gap which now spans nearly a year in time and humor me as I pepper those stories with my own creative musings.
