Making Decisions

Have you ever made a decision that you thought was the right decision for yourself or your family and then minutes, hours, days, weeks or months later you are second guessing those decisions, or the decisions that you made just don't work with the current situation and therefore you are reevaluating once again. Most times this means another conversation with God asking him why, what and where to go from here.

Today was a huge leap in another direction then what we were thinking for some time now. Today I filled out paperwork for Ellaree to attend 4K at Kickapoo. For some time now we have discussed me homeschooling through elementary and/or homeschooling preschool and now we have decided to send her to 4K. For the longest time we have been set that she would not attend school until she was 5 and that she would just go straight to Kindergarten. But like I said, some circumstances makes you reevaluate and look at what is best for her. Don't get me wrong, this will not happen until September therefore I will continue to do school work with her each and every day like I have been and during her time at school. It will just be at a different level then what I have been doing with her.

We have discussed with Ellaree her going to school and she is very much excited about going. We will see how it goes when we actually get to that day of me dropping her off. This does require some creative scheduling as Kickapoo is not in our school district and we will be open enrolling. As we look at our future we see ourselves in the Kickapoo school district and I am very adamant that she will start where she will finish. Granted only God knows this for sure but I do not want to have to pull her out after she has started a school and made friends if at all possible.

The other day I also scheduled her first swimming lessons at the Bigley Pool in Viroqua for this summer. After getting off the phone from having conversations with the pool and school I was very quickly reminded that my baby is no longer a baby...she is growing up very quickly. I am excited for her new adventures but at the same time saddened by this new revelation. I also am reminded that the running the kids here and there is starting and will only get more and more busy.

In the end...one decision at a time with God's help!
