The time has come for both boys to move on to school - Wyatt starting Kindergarten at Grattan Elementary School and Malcolm starting preschool at Jubilee Montessori School. This means that our wonderful weekdays with Lisa (our sitter) and Max (the little boy we share care with) have come to an end. We will of course get to still see our buddies, it just wont be as often.
Lisa and Max have both been such a big part of our lives it is difficult to imagine not getting to see them every week. Lisa, especially, is a gift to our family and the boys frequently talk about her during the weekends - how we need to bring Lisa back to see the dinosaurs at the museum, or need to tell Lisa about some object found at the playground. No amount of good-byes or thank-yous even seemed appropriate to commemorate the special relationship she has with the boys.
On their last morning together Sandy took Max, Lisa and Malcolm out to lunch at Chuck E Cheese to celebrate. Neither seemed that aware of the big changes that will be taking place in their lives, but both had a blast!
Wyatt was aware, however. And as Lisa was walking out the door for her last Thursday afternoon at our house, he went running up to her and gave her another giant hug.
Come visit us soon Lisa and Max!
