First week average.

PHEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

The first week has FINALLY come to a close.

Needless to say it was pretty exciting/challenging/nerve wrecking.

I believe that between the allergy situation with Emily and the way a certain teacher treated Scott, so far I am still on the fence about how I feel towards her new school. A plus side is they have won many academic awards. Which is great for someone like me who believes in education being key to success. However they are not the cuddly type I would have wished for Emily's first public school experience. 

First day was pretty uneventful. Then came Tuesday.......and one of the biggest scares of my life. Emily's allergy is very severe to peanuts and the YMCA thought we had a close call. Thursday Scott was spoken to very rudely by a teacher when dropping Emily off for the first time at school. Friday was pretty low key except that Emily started crying after school because she thought we were coming to get her early since Scott had lunch with her that day.

I rate this week a 5. In the middle. Not great but not super bad.

However, in the silver lining of it all I have decided to go full force with bringing more awareness to peanut allergies and how serious they really are. It has been eye opening to understand what companies are allergy friendly and which ones aren't. Canada mainly operates the best factories when it comes to cross contamination and have set up separate facilities!

This week has also shown me how lucky I am to have such great family and friends to lean on when I was at my wits end with all this madness! It was one of the most hectic weeks of my life and without the help of Scott and everyone who cared and gave advice I would have lost it  and probably been banned. So thank you :)

Can't wait for week two! I say that optimisticly (I don't care if it's not a word, I like it.)

In other news, it's a Saturday and we were woken up by not only our internal alarm clocks but the awesome construction workers outside. YAY!

Happy weekend :)
