Life Keeps Moving Along

Not too much going on for me lately, but there has been lots of excitement in the kid’s lives. The biggest news is that Bronze graduated from preschool today. Strangely enough, I’m not feeling the typical “it feels like she was a baby just yesterday” thing that so many people express at a time like this. Instead it feels like she’s had a pretty full life already. Since she was born, she’s lived in 4 different houses, attended 2 different preschools, and just all the general turmoil that happens with a separation.

I can only hope that the commitment to these kids that Ex and I still have will be enough to carry her and her brother through and not have any lasting damage. We’ve all been through a lot lately, but the Ex and I are trying really hard to keep things as normal as possible.

Today, all four of us went to the graduation ceremony together and it was fine. Bronze was too shy to take part in a lot of the activities, but it was still good. This is the same preschool that Azure went to, so we’ve known these two teachers for a long time. It was a little sad to say goodbye to them, as they’ve been so great for the kids.

The other big thing that happened is that Azure lost his first front tooth yesterday. He’d already lost 4 across the bottom quite a while ago, but both front teeth have been loose and he’d gotten excited about it again. It finally popped out at breakfast yesterday.

Here’s a shot of them in the backyard today, Azure showing off his missing tooth and Bronze sporting her graduation cap.



Have a great weekend!
