January is flying by...not without a little excitement.  We can officially register Benjamin for school NEXT WEEK!!  That is crazy.  It doesn't seem possible and it makes me want to cry.  I am an emotional person anyways and I think last year was the first year I didn't cry as the girls started school for another year (yes grade 4 and 5).  So in September when Benjamin has his first day of school I am guaranteed to be a disaster.  It can't me true, not yet, he's to young, I'm not ready :( .  But the reality of it is that he IS ready.  I know he'll love it.  He'll have so much fun and just thrive.  We haven't decided exactly where we are going to send him yet.  The girls are in French immersion which he isn't able to start until SK, but he can to JK at the local English public school.  Its not a great school and that's my only concern..but it would only be for 1 year. Or we could see if he would be accepted into a French first language school.   I am not fluent but have OAC French and can understand quite a bit and the girls speak it very well now.  So I think that could be an option as well.  I always have the option to not send him for JK and just have him start in SK.  We'll see.

Everyone has been super healthy in our house so far this winter (knock on wood).  We've had a great winter.  We've been having fun in the snow, building forts,  and even enjoying a couple of snow days.  I love winter, and so do the kids.  Its so fresh and beautiful.  We definitely aren't complaining when it comes to the cold.

Benjamin does not have any appointments in the near future which is great..we're gliding along nice and smooth and happy at this pace.  So that's about it for now.
