The sun is shining! Hooray! We headed to the park to enjoy it while it lasts!
Livi and I also had a little fun jumping on the trampoline :)
polka dot blankie
Drew left his polka dot blanket in the middle of the floor this morning. On any other day, I would have picked it up and threw it on his bed. But today was different. Today I paused and looked at the blanket and longed for the cute, loud, chatter box that often accompanies this blanket. Tears filled my eyes and I lost it. I miss him. You see, Drew started school today. He is SO beyond ready to be in school all day long. He is smart, loves to learn, and loves social interaction. But I'm not ready for my shadow (more like my third leg because he is always right on top of me) to be gone. He is seriously such a good-natured, sweet-hearted little boy. I need to look into his big blue eyes right now and feel his cute lips on my cheek. I love that boy so much. I am sad today but excited for the next chapter in his life. We just found out yesterday that he could start school today. He jumped for joy and couldn't stop smiling all day. He couldn't wait to show everyone his new book bag. Especially his big sister. When we picked Avery up from school yesterday, he showed her the bag and then said "I get to go to school with you tomorrow." Avery's face lit up almost as bright as Drew's and they hugged each other and jumped up and down with excitement. Then, for the rest of the day and all this morning Avery told Drew all about how things work at school and what he would be doing. She is one proud big sister. Watching them interact with such excitement over school has been one of my favorite things. We went shopping for his uniform last night and picked out some special British snacks to pack in their lunches today. Drew was beaming. Avery was beaming. As Drew was eating his breakfast this morning he screamed and then shouted "this is going to be the best day ever!!!" . He did not hesitate for a minute when I walked him into class. The Head teacher told him that he looked smart. And boy did he ever look "smart" in his uniform. He couldn't wait to meet his new classmates. He couldn't wipe that smile off of his face. Such a bitter sweet day. So if you see me carrying around a polka dot blanket with tears in my eyes, now you know why. LOVE YOU DREW-BER!!
