Little Onyx saw her fireworks this past holiday. Eboni and I have watched the Fourth of July fireworks together every year since we got our housing. Last year, Onyx was still growing in my stomach. So this year’s holiday was extra special as we approach her 10-month milestone. We just love her so much. And Eboni loves being a big sister. She is so protective and doesn’t want anyone to touch Onyx if she doesn’t approve first.
More good news, Eboni, now 5, got approved to her school! The process of getting documents, filling out the D.C. school lottery application and securing her seat, before turning in even more documents is finally over. She is waiting on course materials, books and a laptop. I’m excited for her, but nervous about guiding her through her learning. I have to wait to start her in other activities, such as gymnastics, martial arts, and Spanish course — but I am not going to give up on making that happen. She’ll need to get adjusted to her new routine first anyway. Now I’m planning how to make her room into a diva/study area to support her growth. She starts kindergarten August 20th and I’m so proud!
