Day 17

He is supposed to have soccer today but the weather report is saying otherwise.

Day 16

Yesterday at school A's friend accidentally hit him in the face with his lunch box knocking his glasses off his face and in the confusion they were stepped on.  Thank god for Pearle Vision, they fix his glasses at the very least once a month.

Day 15

Soccer was rained out yesterday which was a good thing because then we didn't have to decide between soccer and gymnastics. This is looking to be a fairly tame week for A activities-wise.

Day 14

It's monday. We had a great weekend and a have a busy week ahead, good thing he is getting some sleep.

Day 13

Hooray he's awake today! He was trying to pose for a silly picture asleep on the floor but I told him i'd rather he be awake and smiling.

Hooray it's friday!! See you all on monday!

Day 12

I had a great time last night at back to school night. I love getting to hear about his school year and touch base with his teacher.  He has a soccer game tonight that I sadly have to miss :(  He is practically the star of his team this year!

Day 11

Today is back to school night.  I cannot wait to meet A's teacher and see his classroom!  He wanted to stand on the rocks for his picture today so that's what we did. I was showing him this site last night and he was disappointed to see no comments. His exact words were "WHAT, ZERO COMMENTS!"

This is the picture I wanted to use:

Day 10

He had a great day yesterday at gymnastics, A did a round off double back hand spring for the first time! He gets the day off today, no sports, just a little piano practice and relaxing is all that is on his schedule.

Day 9

Yuck, it's monday.  He decided he was thirsty last night and made the decision to drink mommy's coffee creamer instead of, I don't know, anything else. YUCK!

He wanted to be silly today and put his lunch box on his head but it wouldn't balance on it's own.

Day 8

It's finally friday!  He does actually get a break on sunday, nothing to do at all. Tomorrow he has a soccer game in the morning followed immediately by gymnastics. But for today, yet another sleeping picture.  Hope everyone has a great weekend and I will see you here on monday!

Day 7

Today is school picture day.  I think I have had to work every year on this day so I just cross my fingers that grandma makes A look handsome.  When I got home from work last night A came running, very concerned that I had not filled out the order form yet. Silly boy, doesn't he know by now that I always do that sort of thing last minute? This will be his first school picture with his glasses.

My mother seems to think that there is something wrong with this picture. Obviously I disagree.  I wanted a chance to dress my baby for his picture that he is just gonna screw up anyway with some cheesy non-smile.

Day 6

Yesterday was a great day. I got A to try a "new" food, chicken tacos.  It is very difficult to get A to eat any type of chicken not in the finger form.  He LOVED chicken tacos!

Here is to hoping that today is as good a day.

With an angelic pose like that, how can it not be.

Day 5

And the moment you all have been waiting for...

The sleeping pictures!!

Day 4

Brrrrr it's a bit chilly out there today had to break out the fleece.

Day 3

What a morning. First he has been up since sometime around 6am and at 6:45 I find him eating oreos in his bed. I had to leave early for a conference so at least he was awake to get him ready before I left.

Day two

Not off to a good start this year.  He has been up since 6:30am playing video games and eating candy.

He couldn't even muster up a fake smile after he was caught at the bus stop with candy literally all over his face.

FYI no school tomorrow, back on friday.

First day of fourth grade

Ah, the first day of school.  It is something that most kids dread and most parents are excited about.  It is the opposite in my house. My son is excited and I am sad.  I already miss hanging out with him and getting to do whatever we wanted during the day. Now that school has started it will be all about homework and deadlines and rushing off to practice.

That's my baby, my fourth grader. They grow up way too fast.
