nothin' says "I'm ready" like Elmo


Trevy had a FABULOUS first day at school!




All decked out in his birthday backpack & duds. He was SO ready for a day filled with fun, friends & learning!



And his teachers had nothing but praises to share over him.


I even heard he's already crushing on one of them!


Which I'm okay with...


so long as he still comes running to snuggle me like he did today at pick up!



It was such a precious moment...


that I changed my mind about the bus thing.



I was going to have him ride both ways...since we're so close n' all.



But seeing his face light up when he saw me waiting...


Well...


it made me a flake. And I called to change my mind!


He'll take the bus in the am.


Mommy'll be waiting for the running snuggles in the afternoon!







I may catch some cyber judgment here...but I'll still chance admitting....




That I kinda enjoyed a handful of hours Trevy (the cutest menace) free.



I didn't work out like I'd promised myself I would. But Toby & Bristel had a wonderful book learning time. And I cleaned the house! Including vaccuming & mopping! With the steam mop!


I find cleaning is therapuetic for my soul.


::smile::




::sigh::



So all things said and done...



I don't think I could have asked for a more lovely first day!

yeah for you...we sound do much alike....cleaning therapy...workout resolutions that never some to fruition...wait...
isn't cleaning house and working out the same thing? it's called multi-tasking!

Glad your time away was good!

That's great! I hope he makes lots and lots of progress!!

Ella had HER first day of school today. I didn't realize until this day just exactly how much time I spend taking care of my girl. I love it and I love her but it's a lot. I have big plans. I didn't quite have the oodles of time that I thought I would since my oldest is home from school with a stomach bug, but I hear you about having some time to yourself.

Ah...Do you hear that? No? Of course you don't, that's because Trevy is in school! hehehe

So glad that his first day went so well! I think it will be easier for him to take the bus in the mornings too....less seperation anxiety going on. And I hear ya on wanting those snuggle moments when you pick him up. I always am excited to get snuggles from all my kids when I pick them up, whether it's off the school bus or from Gramma's house after work. Thankfully, none of my girls think they are too old for snuggling! :)

I remember Colby's first day...He was Trevy's age....I left him for two hours! That was a BIGGIE for me!

I am glad to hear that you are going to be picking him up every day...I always took Colby both ways, and I wouldn't trade ANYTHING for going into that classroom every single day...You can learn an awful lot more when you can do a "daily snoop"....The stories I could tell!!!

I came to cherish those school hours just as you will...We all need a little time to re-charge!
It makes for a happier mommy!!!

Sophie's Story by Elaine said…
I am SO HAPPY that the first day went so well. I do the same thing with the bus. Sophie takes it in the morning because there is no way I could get all 3 kids in the car and Sophie to school on time. But my MIL comes over in time to watch the 2 little ones so that I can pick her up in the afternoon. She is always so excited to see me plus it gives me a chance to talk to her teachers to see how her day went.

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
