Deja Vu

Life has finally been going on the upswing for Arley and I. 

So much so that I decided I felt comfortable enough to start a brand new job and re-enroll myself into school so that I could finish what I started two years ago before Arley got sick. 

With all the wonderful optimism of starting 2016 off right, I have this nagging feeling lingering in the back of my head of the deja vu that surrounds us. 

As you may recall 2014 started off exactly the same as this year has and what lay ahead of us just a few short months later turned our entire world upside down. Admittedly it has put me somewhat on edge as I try to remain positive and forge ahead hoping upon hope that everything remains as it currently is and no grand surprise is waiting for us as we approach the warmer months.

It's only natural when going through any challenging time in ones life to worry and tense up as the anniversary of said event approaches, as we hold our breath until it gets here and hope to let out a sigh of relief as it passes. 

I am trying so hard to keep myself preoccupied and take everyday as it comes so as not to overwhelm myself, but I would be lying if I said that I'm not worried about what lies ahead for April. 



On a different note though Arley has been blossoming at school. She loves it so much and looks forward to it everyday. She is doing extremely well and right on track for where she needs to be for Kindergarten in the Fall. 

Arley is also taking after me and following in my foot steps for dancing. She currently goes once a week and loves every minute of it. Right now she is learning the steps to her dance recital routine and already knows most of the words to the song that accompanies it. 

She is truly making me proud and makes parenting so blissfully easy. There are a couple minor things that we need to work on, like coordinating cutting correctly with scissors and learning that it's okay to have kids closely in her space when standing together in a line, but academically she is on point and her teachers have zero issues with passing her onto Kindergarten. 

For a child that missed out on that one extra year of preschool when she was 3, I still managed to keep her right on target with her developmental learning and she never missed a beat and has not a single concern. Fist pump to us for all of this success.

That's about it for now with the updates. There will be some more updates coming up very soon though so stay tuned for it. Until then....
