Is the week over yet?

This is the one week out of the year that I'm on campus five days in a row and it is rough! It's the start of the 2nd summer session at NCSU and we have a good number of incoming freshmen taking classes. For my department, it's like the start of a new semester. Thankfully, we have great childcare providers...but it is hard to be on campus when I'm usually with the kids. I know...I have to suck it up and deal with it, right?!
Some of Ian's friends started kindergarten today and I can't believe it! Before WE know it...Ian will be starting (last week of August). A lot of his friends are on year round calendars and a few will be on the traditional calendar. I know it's an exciting time, but I'm sure I'll have a hard time dealing with it! Haha Actually, Ian's first real day (full day) of kindergarten will be Gavin's first day of pre-school. Wow!!! We are already active with the PTA! That probably doesn't surprise many who read this blog!!
But, we're still in summer mode here...we're busy with swim lessons and the Y. Ian has shown more interest in writing letters. I bought him a small dry erase board this morning and he'll write letters on it...show me and then ask what he just spelled. Then, when I attempt to pronounce it he'll ask if it's a word or not! LOL Ian is a good teacher to Gavin...Gavin knows most of the alphabet now and can count to at least 10. He can sing Itsy Bitsy Spider and Wheels on the Bus to anyone who wants to listen!
