August 19th. Max’s first day of kindergarten.  He is going to a Waldorf school, which means his days are focused on rhythm, nature, stories, and connection with his classmates and teacher.  As a homebody and introvert, I thought this transition might be a bit tough for our little guy.  But he’s just not so little anymore.  He is enjoying school, and handles the school day (all four hours of it, ha!) just fine.  I miss having him around during the mornings, but it’s sweet watching him venture out a little at a time.  I volunteer Monday mornings so I get to meet his friends, and we have a tea time every afternoon while Hazel naps so we can spend some one-on-one time together and talk about his day.  I miss our free and easy season before school started, but we are moving into this new season smoothly.
