Weekly Working Mommy #2

One issue that is greatly touching my heart right now is what to do when it comes time to enter your little one in school for the first time. Many working mommies already have their children in daycare and that helps make the transition to school a smooth one. For those like myself that were lucky enough to have a mother-in-law and mother that worked their schedules around mine in order to babysit, we are facing school for the first time at four years old (preschool). My little one has had some daycare so it won't be completely new, yet going somewhere that does not include his baby sister or his cousins three days a week will, at first, be a bit disconcerting to him.

I am starting with soccer. He is now enrolled to play soccer this spring so this will give him the chance, again, to acclimate himself to being around other children and also how to work in a team setting. The more that you can get your little one out of the house and around others, the easier it will be for him/her to transition into the school setting.

So, what have you done to prepare your little ones?
