Big School Boy

It's been so long I don't know where to begin.... all week when I was without my computer, I had lots to blog about in my head, and now nothing. Instead of catching up I'll start with this picture of Kade on his first day of Preschool. He gets up each morning and dresses himself, which is no surprise since he has to do EVERYTHING by himself. To the extreme. I have never had a child who has been so independent and insists upon doing small everyday things (like turning on lights, and opening the garage door) all by himself. If you interrupt the process by touching his head, or talking to him, or heaven forbid doing it....he has to clear it. Go back through and redo everything. So annoying! Anyways, he chose his outfit. I talked him into bringing his "library backpack" and he was happy to go until we got there. Then it was serious freak out!! When I went to get him he was a little chatterbox in the backseat. He couldn't wait to go back the next day. Halfway through telling me about his day he said, "Mom how was your day at school?" We filled him in on the things that Brandon and I did while he was at school. We have a little playgroup scheduled for the kids that are carpooled to preschool. That is going to be so good for Kade. He hardly misses the big kids and he feels important because he goes to school too. Ever since he's been going to playgroup he will randomly say "Mom, Can I have a friend over?" And so it begins...

Great picture! My Ella does the same thing as him....we had a huge tantrum today because I was in a hurry to get inside and I forgot to let her open our door from our garage into the house....it's sooo annoying and I have no patience so it's even double annoying for me....but it's teaching me patience :D. Gald you're back to blogging...I enjoy your blog.

He's a doll! My oldest use to do that "routine" thing also. I am not a very patient mommy, so it drove me crazy!!

I'm glad you are back, too!

What a cutie.

Have you gotten any of your recent photos printed? Just wondering if they look as good as they do on here. I love enlarging the pictures on the screen to see how crisp they look.

Jamie: No I haven't gotten any printed. I have a bad habit of doing that. I really need to put an order in. I am especially curious to see what the color looks like since I haven't calibrated my monitor.
