Respite

And just like that.. the exams are over and the third and last trimester of year will kick off by Tuesday.  Pretty soon it’ll be the finals once more and before I know it, Busy Boy will be a 4th grader..

How time flies!  Sometimes, I wish it would slow down, so I can enjoy his company longer.  Some other times,  I wish it would speed up, so I can get back some of my old life and he wouldn’t be needing me as much.

But this is what is is here and now.. I’ve had the baby moments, toddler, little boy and we’re nearing the end of the little big boy.  And where will I be?

Still at the sidelines.. We have a self imposed long weekend this week. Its pretty much do anything you want for both of us.. 

First Trimestral Exams- Grade 3

Its been 3 months since the start of the school year.  And its trimestrals once again. Time to go back to what Busy Boy has painstakingly studied the past months which we will review again in one afternoon.  His school, LSGH, uses a trimestral calendar unlike the other schools who are doing quarterly.  Its going to be another epic episode full of cajoling, pleading, threatening, crying and hugging.

I will be taking 4 days off from work (ergo, tons of to get back to) but thankfully, my colleagues agree and understand, Busy Boy’s stint at the Honor’s Class is more important.  For sure, I will be enlisting my sister’s help (hi Auntie) as a substitute and additional moral support.  I’ve prepared the materials and I’m gearing up.

I pray for patience and understanding as I help Busy Boy review.  I pray for wisdom, confidence and knowledge for Busy Boy as he takes the tests.

It is always a bittersweet moment every time my son reaches a milestone.  Its both happy and sad that he’s growing leaps and bounds and soon, this will all be over. So I’m taking as much as I can, while Busy Boy still wants me around him.
