Adventurous

At Sand in the City this year, there was a rock climbing wall set up. Lovey expressed interest, but usually being the timid sort, I didn't think he would go through with it. He marched right up there, took off his shoes, and stepped into a harness. And go Lovey, go.



He was so pleased with himself that he made it to the top and rang the bell. I'm thrilled that he gave it a try.

Hair Accessory Solution

Littlebit does not have very many hair "pretties", but the ones we do have were slowing overflowing the bucket. I have seen different organizing strategies for hair accessories, but this as my favorite.

I removed the glass from a frame. I added batting and fabric to the backing of the frame and stapled some ribbons to the back. I spent more time choosing the frame and fabric, than I did making this.

Littlebit loves it because now Lovey can't reach it.

This afternoon Lovey will put on his backpack, new shoes, and new clothes and head to Kindergarten!

How? How did my little boy get old enough to go to Kindergarten? Wasn't I just taking him to my staff meetings at 4 months old and setting up his pack-n-play, so I could set up my classroom? Oh wait, I haven't been in a classroom in a few years.

He is so excited to go to school, I'm surprised he slept last night. We've been to his classroom twice and his teacher is very nice. Last night we walked around the school at open house. He was amazed at how big it was and he kept asking if we were going to get lost. I assured him we wouldn't and we didn't.

He can't wait to ride the bus, but today I insisted on taking him to school. He can ride the bus Friday. I can't wait to hear all about his first day!
