Can time slow down just a little?

We are approaching the last week of the school holidays and I am half wishing that he does not need to go back to school on the 28th June.

We were pretty much home-bound for the last three weeks and only managed less than 5 outings.  He has been waking up so many times at night, complaining of nightmares and disrupting my sleep every 2 hours :(  While the amazing thing is that he will be so full of energy the next morning, waking up at 8.30am or earlier and I will be left worn out and lethargic the next day. So whatever outing plans that I have made will be scrapped.

The only consolation I have got these few weeks is that he has been eating really well (having his lunch in school for the past 1 month seemed to have made him miss home-cooked food). And I have managed to schedule a fair bit of home-learning with him, in fact, I made so many learning aids these few weeks that my fingers are cramped from cutting paper/laminating plastic.

The only 'exciting' thing we have managed this week is a movie, his first ever movie; Toy Story 3. He managed to stay seated in the seat for a full hour and I consider that a real feat for his usual extremely active self.

I have been trying to make up for the lack of outings by cramming them all in for this last week of the school holidays…is it just me, or time really flies by too quickly?

  1. Oh I think you are right! Time flies so so so fast! For us, one moment he’s the little boy who can only crawl, the next moment, he’s running around. I’m scared to blink, lest I miss any precious moment!

    Before you know it he will be giving your smart retorts to your questions…and then you will wish u can turn back time :)

  2. I’m trying Toy Story for Truett this Sunday, he sat through the DVDs for Toy Story 1 and 2.

    By the way Kyle was ok for an hour but the show is 1 hr 40 mins long… how did it go after that?

    He was walking around our seats, taking off and putting on the 3D glasses. I think this 3D experience is not too good for kids below 3-4 years old age…he preferred watching without the huge pair of 3D glasses.

  3. I’m so looking forward to watching Toy Story 3!

    And well, I’m actually kind of glad Dylan is going back to school haha. It’ll at least ease off some stress for the mornings. I did up 2 lapbooks and that’s it…

    It’s a good show…although would have been better without 3D. Maybe I am just old-school when it comes to the movie experience.

  4. Hi, popping over for the first time from My Playschool.net. Love your site and I can fully agree why you are not looking forward to school. Kids are so much more rested at home, and I think we can provide a better variety of activities compared to school, isn’t it?

    Thanks Linette for dropping by :) I will be sure to drop by to your blog soon. Oh yes, so much we can do at home…and also going out in the mornings seems more fun for the kids versus going to school.
