Day 446: Big Steps

 Yesterday was kind of a lot.

For the first time, I dropped Issa off at the high school and got a lump in my throat. She is doing a week long "camp" with her interior design teacher where they are doing all of the hands-on things they couldn't do this year. As it should be, the teacher has communicated directly with Issa. I dropped her off not knowing who was going to be there or what exactly the plan for the week would be. Given that we have pretty much been together 24/7 for over a year, it was really odd.

The great news is she had a blast! It is just she and one other girl there this week, and Issa loves her teacher. They are building models of rooms they design, and she came home last night all excited to work on her sketches so she would be ready to start building today. 

Then, I was checking instagram while the boys were at the dojo, and there was a picture of Brad training with another adult. For the first time in over a year, he and Evan split. Evan trained with his buddy, Collin, and Brad worked with another adult. The both had a blast.

It's all just a little surreal--this return to life as it will be. I'm letting myself have all of the feelings for a while...
