How's the Boy Managing?

Well, the first term (out of three) of school for Keziah is pretty much completed already. Report cards will be handed out in a week or two. I don't think there will be too many surprises on her report card: she is sailing along nicely......not at the top of her class, nor at the bottom. Schoolwork is certainly not her favourite thing to do, as she would rather craft or play all day long. But she is starting to read a bit and that is getting her excited!

With the first term under her belt, that means Lincoln has been on his own all that time as well. So, how is he faring? Has he become used to her being gone every day? Is he surviving?!?!

It certainly took him awhile to get used to not having a playmate. He still asks me to play with him at least 4 times a day, which isn't too bad considering 2 months ago it was 24 times a day!

But he is learning to keep busy "fixing" things for me, playing with his cars, building train tracks, going on pretend picnics (hence all his bags in the one picture), having friends over, and reading books. LOTS of books :o)

 

 

 

 

 

 

We do try to do something every day, whether that be going to the gym, go for a walk, go to the Early Years Centre or visit a friend/have a friend over. Or else 4 o'clock just takes way too long for him (and then for me). And although he's adjusting, seeing his dear sister come off the bus is by far his most favourite part of the day. She comes in, empties her school bag and then I don't see them till suppertime, as they catch up on lost play time together. 

 

 

 

God has blessed these two with quite a relationship - one that we hope and pray continues to grow as they get older. Sure, they have their moments, but for the most part, they are a unit. We are blessed to witness this.
