The Crazy Guy!!!

Okay, I have told this story half a dozen times and it dawned on me that I might want to write it down so that one day I remember to tell Camryn. Cam is incredibly verbal, smart, and well I always say a fourteen year old trapped in that tiny two year old body.

This last Friday on the way to school we ended up behind a black van. It was a big one, like the SWAT or CIA would use and I was surprised when it turned into the school parking lot. He then went to park in front of the school, but changed his mind and decided to make a left into the parking lot. I had to brake because he turned in front of me and I blurted out "That guy is crazy!" From the back seat I hear Cami saying "Crazy Guy, Crazy Guy!" I ignore her hoping she will stop and she does......until I park and go to get her out of the car and she sees the guy again and from inside the car starts pointing and shouting "Crazy Guy, Crazy Guy!" Luckily she was still in the car and he didn't see or hear her! I am glad I didn't blurt out something else!

Sick Already

My poor Bug....he is already missing school. He woke me up at 1:30 am when he crawled in bed with me...There are many things that you are given the moment you become a mother. One of those things is fever radar. This morning I immediately knew that this little hotbox was warmer than his norm and one look at his swollen eyes & red skin confirmed it. So me and the Thermoscan (love that thing) have been keeping a close watch. Aiden tends to catch whatever is out there....and he is usually down longer than other kiddos... I just wish he had lasted a little longer before he caught something...is after all only the fourth day of school!

First Day of School

Well we ALL made it to and then through our first day of school. I was really good dropping him off...I didn't even cry! As the day went on though I got more and more anxious. "How is he doing?" "Can the teacher understand him." "Did he remember where the bathroom is." This is not the first time Aiden has gone to a school...this was just so new....we were comfortable at his preschool. They knew him and all his "stuff."

Picking him up that day was when it hit me...I waited in the car with Cami while Jon went to pick him up. Watching him come out of the school, walking across the grass towards the car, is when it hit me... I couldn't wait to get him in my arms and breath him in. He got in the car and climbed up front with me and snuggled his head into the crook of my neck like he has done since the day he was born and then I was okay.

Except for a minor "hiccup" the day went pretty good...the next day the teacher even made some time to meet with us...He is great...he "gets" Aiden and now he knows all of Aiden's "stuff" so we are going to be okay...I think.

Didn't want a facebook and I got one, turned out it wasn't from the devil....maybe blogs aren't bad either.

So....I thought life had finally settled down...my husband and I had made it over the hump and things were looking like we would get down to normal. Big mistake!
