This year has been most unusual. Due to the pandemic, and the numbers of people getting covid not abating, we were uncomfortable sending little miss Haana back to school. Most other parents have been in the same boat. So the school district had both options of traditional in class teaching, and online only option. With first few weeks being online only.
So last week little miss Haana started her online school sessions at 750am. And while it is certainly not the same at all, i have to say, i have much to be thankful for. I actually, in my selfish way, am loving this arrangement!
I can see little miss Haana all through the day, even though she's attending school, and i have started working half days. I can still see her almost every hour for a few minutes when she gets a break, and i can give her a pucchi (kiss). I can make sure she eats. And she gets done much sooner than traditional school. We can spend more time together, even if she has to do some school work on her laptop sitting next to me. She still has time in her day to do some of her arts and crafts work that she always keeps thinking up. Bobby and Haana can spend some moments together through the day. Unlike earlier, when i would pick up Haana after school, from an After-the-Bell program, we get home close to 6pm, she's home and with much more time to spend together, and doing things she likes.
I am loving this! Much to be thankful for.
