Thank YOU!

Mornings two and three have gone much better!

Thank YOU all for your support!  Whether it has ben via phone, e-mails, or comments on this blog, I've cherished all of your kind words and support!!!!  I'm sending hugs to all of you!!!!

And, I've had four days off from work... I feel like a NEW woman!  The house is picked up (not clean) and the laundry is done!  Still a lot more I should have done but I splurged with a day for me yesterday and went to all my favorite spots.  A little guilt may have set in this morning when I opened our empty fridge... but it will pass as soon as I go to work.  Sorry family... supper is whatever you can find tonight!  :o)  

*****

Here's a little bit about the new second grader:

*  He's lost five teeth so far.  Only two permanent ones have taken up residence.

*  He is not a huge breakfast person (gets that from me - darn it!).

*  He loves chocolate (um, also from me!).

*  He hates to read (dad, I'm blaming you for this one!)

*  He is a messy person (dad - you again!).

*  He has quit calling me mommy this year.  I HATE that!

*  He is STILL picky about clothing and shoes... including underwear and socks.

*  He still wants to be a cop (and has for years).  But he has added being a "photographer of animals all over the world" to his list.  Cool.

*  He is a social butterfly.  He LOVES to be with his friends.  LOVES.

*  Rarely smooches on his mother even when I constantly say that mom's NEED LOTS OF SMOOCHES ALL DAY LONG.

*  Won't hold my hand (can't this wait until he's 18?).

*  Recently quit using his "gween blankie" unless he gets hurt or is having some sort of melt down.

*  His favorite school subjects are math and gym.  Although, I think he forgot to say, RECESS.

*  Cheese pizza is his favorite food - even the school's pizza ranks among his favorite!

*  His favorite TV show is Zach & Cody.  (I even like that one!)

*  He is VERY determined.

*  He doesn't like to practice at anything but loves to be good at everything.

*  His 2ND grade teacher is tied with his kindergarten teacher as his favorite teacher!  (Now that's a good start to the new year!)

*  Doesn't share well when friends are over.  (It drives his mother bonkers!)

*  Still loves to swim more than anything else.

*  Is one of the tallest in his class.

*  Stalls more than anyone I know before bed time.  

*  Totally whoops me at any game on the Wii.

*  Loves anything boyish that his dad loves.

Gotta love him!  And boy do I!!!!!!!

Nothing like a good day off to rejuvinate you!!
Glad you are perking up and sad to hear about the lack of smooching
:( I feel your pain.

We rented Earth from the REDBOX last night - you will have to get it for your future photojournalist :)

They just grow up too fast. Glad things are going a little better now.

His toothless grin is so cute! Sounds like he's growing up. Trevor does a few of those things but he still likes to snuggle with me a bit.
