recap of the week

What is this???  It is a piece of apple!  Nathan was eating an apple and thought it would be great to take a piece out of his mouth and put it up his nose!  Luckily he told me he did it, so I checked up there with a flashlight and sure enough a chuck of green apple was up there.  I tried getting it out with my tweezers, but it was to far up I couldn't reach it, I really need to get a pair of medical tweezers! So, off to the ER we went. 

once we were back in our normal room, I asked Nathan why he was at the hospital & this is what he said

 This week Thomas had baseball pictures!  Last year he refused to be in his team picture or take individual pictures, so this is a major accomplishment!  He is on the bottom row 4th in from the left.

 The photographer told him to smile showing his teeth.....this is what she got!  Luckily she got a picture of him smiling nicely too!

And Nay-Nay....he is doing SO well at preschool!  He just finished his first full week.  Every morning his teacher goes around to the kids and does "hi's & hugs" where she gets down and greets every child and welcomes them to class and then asks them if they would like a hug.  The first day of school Nathan turned away from her and said "eeeehhhh", the second day he said "no thank you", and the third day and every day since he has either said yes or shook his head yes & hugged her!  This week he also started riding the bus!  He doesn't want to ride it to school only home, which is fine with me!  I think it is easier for him to ride home since all the kids in his class get on the bus together & ride home.  I went to the school for his first bus ride home & took pictures and made sure he wasn't going to get scared and not get on the bus!  He did great though, held his teachers hand and climbed right up in the bus.   The bus pulled up in front of the house and I went out to get him off the bus & he stood in the driveway and waved by to the bus driver.  He talked about it all afternoon!  Even now, he will ask me "mom you see me on the bus" and I tell him yes, and he tells me "I sit by the window" and starts laughing and then tells me how fun it is on the bus.  I can't believe how fast he is growing up!

David is doing good.  He is crazy busy with school, scouts, baseball and football! 

first day of school

Nathan finally got accepted into the Child Find program through CCSD!  I have been trying for the last few months (since Thanksgiving) to get him in the early childhood program.  He and I went last week to a meeting and found out he got in, and got the phone call Tuesday that we needed to go register at the elementary school he will be attending.  We went to the school Wednesday morning and registered, then went back pack shopping.  We also grabbed an extra set of clothes for school and he picked out a new first day of school shirt.  He picked our the Lightning McQueen backpack!

And he started school this morning!!  He was SO excited to go to school!  The first thing he said this morning was "I go to school, I go on the yellow bus"  He does get to take the bus to & from school but not till next week.

 His school is from 9-11:40am, but I still have been really worried about him going, especially since he only likes me and won't even talk to people or when they talk to him he hides behind me.  But, I held his hand in line and walked him to the door, knelt down gave him a hug and a kiss and told him I loved him and to have a fun day.  Then I got up and walked away as his teacher took his hand into the building.  It was so sad!  He was holding his teacher's hand looking behind him crying "mommy", which made me cry (I was great till then!).  

 At the end of school he walked out holding his teacher's hand.  She said he did great, and only cried for about 1/2 hour (me too!!)  I am SO proud of him and excited that he wants to go back!  I can't believe that he is old enough for preschool!  It seems like just yesterday he was my little baby.  

First day of school....SUCCESS!!

MudCats

The MudCats had their first t-ball game last night!  They won 48-22!!! Great job boys!  Thomas is number 6, he hit the ball very well when he was up to bat.  He wasn't to big on playing in the field though! At least he wasn't picking flowers or playing in the dirt....it's a step up from last year!

Spring Sports

The boys have been having practices for spring sports for the last few weeks.  David's baseball team, LV Rebels, plays year round, this year they are also playing in a wood bat only spring league.  David is also playing flag football, his team in the Wolf Pack.  Thomas has decided this year that he wanted to give t-ball another try, he is on the MudCats.  And I missed soccer signups for Nathan by a week, so he will have to wait till fall season.  This last week I got the game schedules for football & t-ball and added them to the calender.  Not quite sure how this all worked out, but we have NO games that are at the same time between the three sports!  Since I have my propane heater for winter ball, I figured for summer ball it is only right to have a shade cover & misting system!!  I'm excited for it to get hot enough to pull out the misters, I can't quite justify needing the misters at 88*!
