I love your pieces!

I walked to school to pick Evan up today. We were talking about what he did at school and such, just walking along. He looks up to me and says, 'mom, I love your pieces,' I said you do? 'Yes', he says, 'that is what Grammie always says, I love your pieces.' I think he was trying to say, 'I love you to pieces.'

Thing 1 and 2



Had to post again another picture of Thing 1 and 2. This was taken right before we left for MOPS today. They looked so cute. In the 20 minute drive to MOPS I kept telling them about how much fun they were going to have and did they remember this school from last year, so when we got there, they both went right into their separate classes, no problem at all. Since today was the first day, there was this kiddy carnival planned with popcorn, games, juice boxes and all sorts of fun. So I pick up Evan in his room, he is ready with his tickets, then we go to Nick's room. I can see the teacher has him on her lap and he has his tickets in his hand, they must have told him that I was coming. He had these giant teardrops in his eyes, the teacher said to him 'see I told you mommy was coming back'. He runs for me and turns back to her and says 'thank you, bye', and the whole time he is trying not to cry. It was so precious. He has the best manners, even when he is mad. He will be crying about something and when I finally give in, he will just give me this 'thank you', like it's about time.

Evan is doing great on the poop front! I am so happy to say. I have never been so consumed with someone going to the bathroom. But I think he has it down, he will go #1 by himself and #4 with help. This is all that I have been able to think about lately. I was telling the next door neighbor about him going to school and how much he liked it and we got on the subject of potty training. She wanted to know how often he goes, she meant pre school of course. But I was thinking poop, so I was giving her his whole BM schedule. I finally notice this odd look on her face, holy crap. I'm a girl, we are not consumed with all the sounds and funny things that come out of our bodies, girls don't even toot. So with Evan and all the questions and the explaining constantly, I am consumed with poop.

He didn't even cry!





Well it happened, my little guy went to school today. He was so excited. I had a neighbor watch Nick, in case Evan cried or threw a fit. Not needed, he did not even shed a single tear, guess he was ready. I dressed him all in Thomas, his favorite and off he went. He did want to drive the car today though. I told him that he would have to drive from the backseat. They need to wear tennis shoes to school, in case they play outside. He has lived in his crocs all summer long. So today when he put on regular shoes, he came downstairs and told Mike that he had gotten new shoes for school! I hope he always stays that easy, he has had the Thomas shoes since last summer!

I can't believe that this little person who has been my shadow for so long, is not at my side saying 'read me a book'. I can't wait to get back to the school and pick him up, he will have so much to tell me.

I actually went to Curves today!

Now that summer is over and I will not be hanging out in my bathing suit everyday, I thought I would start back at Curves! Last time I was there was June 5! No wonder I feel like a big fat cow.

Now out to Pizza Hut for lunch!
