Start of school: Kindergarten edition

Logan had a great end to his summer. We continued going to the pool and staying active, and then he and Alexis spent some time in Oklahoma with family. They had a great time, and are both still talking about it.

While the kids were in Oklahoma, the school year started back for me, and I am so excited to see all the returning and new preschool students at all of the schools that I visit. Some old faces, some new faces, and even some sibling faces from previous students are going to make for a great year to come.

Logan started school last week, and it was a roller coaster! He was so excited about starting school, and is in love with his teacher. He is in the full day Kindergarten class, and even though we stayed busy over the summer, he was exhausted. Of course he got a headache the first day, but thankfully it was not a migraine. I think between the chaos of first day and his fatigue, it just hit him. He ended up sleeping for almost two hours in the Principal's office and then going back to class as happy as can be. I am so thankful for the teachers and staff at his school being understanding of his cancer diagnosis and just taking care of him.

There is a lot more stress sending Logan to school than there was sending his older sister. I worry about every potential germ, the fatigue, headaches, getting hit in his port, whether or not he can keep up, and really every little thing. Cancer does that to us. It takes away normality and replaces it with anxiety and constant worry. I know he is in good hands, and he is having the best time so far. So, I just take it one day at a time.

Thankfully I have Logan's birthday to look forward to/get ready for this week. His birthday is on Friday, and the party is on Saturday. I have already started preparations for his cake, so stay tuned for pictures.
