AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL.........
It's been just over a month since I became a stay at home / work at home Mom, and as you can tell by the absence of posts, I have been busier than ever!!! ( But loving every minute...almost!)
Chloe has school, Reece and I have playgruop , and soon he has preschool, I have clients, and wife & mommy stuff, but I felt like something was missing...after school activities! ( Cause we Moms like to feel exhausted I have decided!)
Last week, Reece started learning to skate at the rec centre near our house...and the best part is his teacher.....DADDY! It is so great to see Reece develop a new skill...one that he has picked up rather quickly according to Matt. But I think the most special part of all is that Reece and Matt are bonding over a common love, HOCKEY. Which is why Matt started him in skating...he is simply grooming him to be the future hockey star he thinks he is!
So I was feeling happy, but a bit left out of the bonding. I had to find something that Chloe & I would both enjoy...not an easy task actuallly! She had asked since kindergarten about Girl Guides, and I'd always wanted to join when I was a young girl....so I looked into it, and the local Guides group had room for us ( I mean her ) ;) . She starts on Thursday by selling the cookies door to door. I can't think of a more perfect way to be inducted into this special club for young girls! I think it's so important for kids to have something they can feel connected to, and be a part of, and as a Mom, I couldn't be happier to see my kids get involved in things they love!
