Welp, the first week of school comes to an end and I survived! Grayson did well in all day kindergarten, and Noah & Carter are now in 4th and 5th grade. I have a good feeling about the school year. It’s been fun figuring out a new routine with Ivy, now that there is just one kid in the house all day.

We’ve been taking walks to downtown Valpo, getting iced drinks at Blackbird Cafe and stopping by the splash pad. On our way home today we stopped in the library and got the infos on upcoming toddler classes. I think I might totally sign Ivy up. I have always dreamed of taking my kids to those fun story hours at the library but it just never happened. But this time around, with only one at home now, I find it do-able and quite appealing. Maybe we’ll even walk to every class!

I’ve heard that these classes are quite popular and it was recommended that you sign up right away when registration opens. Check out the Porter County Public Library website and Lake County Public Library website for dates & times!
