During this unusual school year we have faced a lot of challenges. There have been technology issues to deal with, and time management (for everyone) issues and schooling frustrations… and I could go on and on.

But there have also been really nice things that have come out of it.

The big kids have been home so much this year–and Levi has absolutely been soaking it up. In particular he loves Chloe playing with him. And Chloe has risen to the occasion beautifully. She has matured so much in the past year. She will play with him and read to him and snuggle him and just be a wonderful big sister. It’s been so sweet to watch.

So, while I am delighted to have the transition back to in person school for all the big kids, I know Levi will miss his sweet Chloe. It makes me wonder if they will stay close as they get older or if they will drift apart because of the age gap. I guess time will tell!
