I feel like a milestone has been reached. This morning kiddo was being especially difficult getting up so I told him either get up and ready in two minutes or I'll leave without him and he can get himself to school. He chose to get himself to school! I was already running late so it didn't really help much (and it was snowing so ugh! the drive was so long). But now he wants to do it next week for the few days he has school, and if it goes well, I'll take him out of before school daycare! Then I can leave earlier, and cut so much time off my commute. I'll still have to get him up, and ensure his lunch is packed, but I can then just leave for work and not fight about how it's time to go. He was actually early this morning, got there before daycare even went outside, but he enjoyed having extra play time. He'll still be going to camps this summer though, I'm not ready for him to be home alone for 8 weeks!! Just waiting for the school board to confirm the back to school date before I book any camps or my own vacation days. Since the other board is going back a week early I have some doubt about the date.
And now I have a 4 day weekend, which I will enjoy! And hopefully catch up on some sleep. Plans include groceries, laundry, house cleaning, dying my hair a fun colour, and probably going to a family day event at the high school (they set up bouncy castles, laser tag, and those big hamster balls among other things, parents are free, kid is only $15), if I can find a friend to go with him. And he has a friend coming over Saturday to play on the snow hill from shoveling, which I will have to do tomorrow I think.
