Summer

Avery goes to preschool. So that means during the summer, winter break and spring break she does not have school. This is always a thorn in my side since I do work while she is at school and we use it as daycare as well. Camille has been on a waiting list for a daycare for 16 months because she is too young to start at the preschool where Av goes. As soon as I hit my second trimester I put her on the list. It was not soon enough but we finally got her spot. It is very bitter sweet because we have grown to love Miss Linda. We cannot give up our spot at the daycare though. This is a top rated daycare/preschool and since I do work part time we want our kids to have the benefit of being with other kids in a daycare/preschool setting. It has worked out well the daycare has a spot for Av for the summer too. So starting the second week in June they will both start “school” together. In the fall Camille will stay where she is and Av will head back to Friends. It will make my life harder dropping them at different spots but we believe it is what is best for each of them. My heart is already breaking anticipating their first day. Camille and I will miss Miss Linda terribly. Dropping Camille off for the first time and leaving Av in a new place is going to be excruciating. Camille is just starting strange anxiety and Av has never done well with transitions. Av has grown to love her school so much, she feels secure there, but she has gone through so much in her little life that new places scare her. Plus she is so much like me so shy and does not like any attention focused on her. I am going to be a mess on June 8th. As much as I know how hard it will be I also know it is best for them. Av needs to be with kids her own age in a school setting a few times a week to continue the speech improvements we see every day. It will just be down right fun for Camille when she gets used to it. It was a hard decision but the right one. Camille will just go on M&W. Av will be there M,W&F like she is used to.
