Tuesday Toddler Tales~First Day of "School"



Jackson started his first day of school/summer camp today! He was SO excited while I was a little apprehensive. However, watching him carry his backpack and grin from ear to ear was pure joy! When we got to school he saw his buddy Gavin and was excited to be going to school with him. He was ready to start the day even knocking on the door to get the teachers to let him in.

Once inside he ran to his classroom and wanted nothing to do with me. He began playing and off he went. So, off I went for five hours without my baby boy. I had a lot to do and got a lot accomplished. It's amazing what you can get done without a two year old around! It was a little strange being home without him here. I felt like I had to be quiet because it seemed like he was taking a nap. When I went to pick him up his teacher said he had a fantastic day and was very sweet. His only downfall was that he didn't want to nap. I think I'd struggle, too, if all my friends were laying next to me. All-in-all he and I had a great day! I am so proud of him!

Jackson SO beyond excited to wear his backpack (from Macy) and go to school,


Jackson and Gavin ready to reek havoc on the school. Oh my...those teachers don't know what they are in for!

What happened to the part where you almost forgot to pick him up? I love that first pic. He's so happy. I wonder if I'll be able to see that smile through the plastic suit and mask I'll have to wear next week....

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
