Back to School We Go

I'm so happy to tell you that both kids will be going back to a brick-and-mortar school in a few weeks. 

As you know, we pulled Reagan out last October. And we pulled Riley out when we moved in April. Reagan and I had many conversations about school. She decided that she would rather be in school. She is ready to give it a go.

Words fail me here. I am beyond proud of her for her  decision.
I am so grateful to my husband for pulling her out in October. I know removing her from her surroundings last year was the right move. The Reagan she is today is confident and more self-assured. The Reagan we withdrew from school was struggling and breaking from peer pressure.

She needed an environment where she felt safe to be herself. And homeschool/virtual school gave her exactly that. 

So, it is with extreme pride (and quiet, internalized fear) that I get ready to send her back out into the world.
