We Now Have A Gradeschooler!

August 7, 2022 By Mommy Leave a Comment

Covid won’t stop life (in most ways). We managed to reach another milestone of Light’s life. She is now a grade school student! She is in elementary! What happened?!?!

I’ve been staring at this 7 year old girl in amazement a lot lately. How did she grow up so fast? I don’t know if it’s the pandemic but time seemed to go by doubly fast since it happened.

When Covid hit we were starting our second year in homeschooling. She was in K2 or Kinder. When the school year ended, I thought we wouldn’t be able to have her graduation ceremony anymore. We would have missed the chance because of the lockdown. But our homeschool provider was able to make it happen. It wasn’t face to face. As with everything, we had to do it online. But I think the excitement and feeling of proudness are just the same.

Doing things online isn’t so bad. Kids don’t really have to sit still during the whole ceremony if they don’t want to. ^_^

Time flies by so fast that you just get so startled by how things have changed. How my little Light has turned into this bright young girl. And somehow I forget. I forget that she is still young. I shouldn’t expect so much of her.

Having fun with mommy.

Now we are starting her school year as a second grader. Just like that. She’s read lots of books (the Magic Treehouse series, Narnia, Harry Potter, Sherlock Holmes). She consumes it all. Maybe it’s one of the reasons her eyes got bad that she now needs glasses. But you know, that’s expected as my husband and I both wear glasses, too. Check out her first visit to the eye doctor below!

And that time she lost both her two front teeth at the same time. 2X ADORAAAABBBLLLEEEE!

She’s also into pretend plays a lot lately. Do watch this video she made for her portfolio review last school year. It’s a story she made up.

There’s probably a shift in responsibilities once your child is in grade school. I think, though, that I’ve put quite a few responsibilities on Light when her brother came that there’s not much change when it comes to giving her more responsibilities. I’ve kind of “trained” her also to self study. Not much on being self dependent (I still need to focus on that more). But we do manage to deal with cleaning herself up like giving herself a bath and washing up after doing deed number 2. ^_^
