Whew! Our "new" schedule

Well, our Shae-Shae is back now, and it's like she never left. She is so very kind and tender hearted, to the point that she was shrieking in the backyard last night when Skyler was squishing ants. She's still asking why, to which I have begun to reply "There is no why" that I borrowed from Myrna.
I am experimenting this week with timing and driving the kids to their new places. Shae goes to pre-k now in central Reno and Sterling is in her 3rd week of home daycare in Northern Reno. I have learned about some of the harsher parts of town, the worst stop lights, and that leaving at 7:27 really makes a difference vs. leaving at 7:33. Jimminey Christmas! Ah well, Shae is making many new friends and her instructors love her. They are helping her to make new friends. It's well worth it, but as Sky put it, "Mom, why are we in the car so much?" I realized we were in the car for over 2 hours each day....I truly "get it" now about being the mom taxi. Location, location, location.....is there ever really a good one? In the meantime, Sterling is getting good at repeating songs in the car and perfecting her rhythm and dancing. Quite humorous to see an 18 month old doing the swim from her carseat!
Sky starts guitar lessons sometime this month, waiting for his instrument to come in. But, he graduates from kindergarten on Monday. YEAH! He's getting so tall and very inquisitive himself, though he's learned not to verbalize every thought....

Robin: So good to have your 'view from the van' I have found that three or four minutes makes a big difference in traffic patterns. I sometimes wondered if everyone but me gets out the door exactly on time.
Glad Shae slipped right back into her place in the household. By the way everyone loves Shae. Some people she met here don't know me without her. My neighbor, Doris said "She is always smiling that wonderful smile.
