Pray for me!!
Addy begged to ride the bus to and from school this year, so we're trying it out this week to see how it goes. She looks so small getting on that bus.
Jack portrayed how I felt when Addy left on the bus. He let it out for both of us!
Then, to further help me, he ate toothpaste and started complaining that he didn't "felt better." After a quick call to poison control, we waited for him to throw up while snuggled on the couch together. Nothing like a good poison scare to take your mind off the sadness. He's completely fine, by the way.
Each step of her getting older seems so much harder than I thought it could be. I am reminded anew to treasure each day, every moment that I have with her. And poor Jack and Joe...hope they like quality time with their mom! I'll be like that creepy little mom from the children's book, I'll love you forever, who sneaks in her grown son's room to rock him while he's asleep.
i'm glad someone else thinks that part of the book is creepy. it's so good until then. i always thought it was weird.
ReplyDeleteyour blog makes me so happy. but the last few days it's left me a little teary-eyed. maybe post some jokes next. or repost jack playing in his poop.
thanks for being genuine, and for being a beautiful example. seriously.
I love you and your family SO SO much!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine watching my baby girl get on the bus for the first time. But just think it is much better for you to be crying than her. How awesome that she is excited to go to school instead of being terrified! How is that for optimism?! She is precious! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteJack's face is priceless! Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a big girl!! I will always think if Ms. Addy as the first Ring Baby!! And I just love Jack's face!! Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love the post. I teach first grade. I am sure she is going to be a great student if she can't wait to go. I hope she just loves her teacher!
