We are getting there. School starts on Monday. (Hooray!!!)

I "think" we are ready for school. It starts Monday (FINALLY) All the supplies and instructions are at the Village School in regards to Type 1 Diabetes.  I forgot that we had to "train" a new school about Kailyn. She is 8 and in 3rd grade now. That means she moves to the 3rd through 5th grade school.  I also forgot about the additional supplies and paper work we have to do on top of all the regular paper work and supplies.  She has T1D supplies and regular school supplies to get this year.  She has never had to buy supplies before for school. Just a back pack and lunch box. This year she had a list. I forgot about those expenses. Both are now bought.
Kailyn went to 3rd grade orientation tonight and froze. SO happy I passed down that anxiety gene (sarcasm) She could not talk to anyone, even her good friend Hailey. She was sad afterwards that she did not say hi.  Then she freaked when it was first come first serve seating at open house and she ended up sitting with no one that she knew.  Apparently, the cluster of desks were in 6 and the 5 friends she knows were at one cluster with a little girl that she did not know. Might as well lather the anxiety on even thicker.(sarcasm again)   Life is hard enough at this time of year. Add on K's anxiety and some days seem to be insane. Looking forward to getting into a routine again.
Sam does not seem to be phased about going to Kindergarten one bit.  He does not seem to be too excited unless you mention it. No anxiety either.
The room is coming along to.  Almost done.  I need to get the curtain hung properly.  I thought I found a stud, but the screws are still coming out easily.  Also need to sand, do touch up painting, desk chair for Kailyn, clean, then move Keira in. Here are a few pictures:




This is the three of them watching TV on Keira's side. I thought it was funny.  The TV is in there for when we work on the room, but is coming out.
