I am a Prisoner!

I think Adlai would much rather be outside with Lilly than trapped indoors.

I could be wrong.

And How Was Your Day?

I was attacked today.

Before you get concerned, I was attacked by this.

A drooly,

runny nose,

baby boy.

Who moved so fast I couldn't get my camera to focus on him.

Until he drooled on me.

Yanking my Heartstrings

My baby:

started Day Care yesterday. At a wonderful place. They see Adlai and take him and talk to him and cuddle. They don't give either one of us time to be sad. Which is good.

But I walk away a little sad. I miss spending the day with my boy. This week I'll use the time to get myself a little organized. Next week I'll start doing a little work in the school. I'll keep busy. I can do it. Just like the millions of other fabulous mothers out there.

The Bath Boy

You know how sometimes people don't want kids to grow up? Sometimes they say they want to stuff their kids in a pickle jar so they don't get any bigger (or maybe so they don't have to be heard). I didn't have a jar to fit Adlai. So I stuffed him back into the kitchen sink.

Not really, but it's still the perfect place for him to take a bath.

But not for long. He's going to be too big for it very soon.

Either that or he's going to flood the kitchen from all the splashing.

On the Menu

Lilly loves, loves, loves buttered chicken. She could eat it 5 days a week. Our favorite is one we get at Costco but I think that's because you add cream to it.

Adlai loves the bread, he gets his own.

Lilly chowing down.

We started watching a movie about the race horse Secretariat. Hence Lilly sitting on the floor. We don't always make her sit on the floor. This time we did get smart and put a towel under her so we didn't have to spend so much time cleaning the floor. The towel, however, may never be the same again.

First Day of School

My daughter is now in Grade 1.

First day of school picture.

And in front of the sign by her school.

Most of her class moved straight up in her class this year. So her 3 best buddies are in her grade again. And somehow they all got seated together! Curious to see how that's going to work.

The entire school is made up of split classes (a lot of schools I have worked in do this). Lilly is in a 1/2 and will probably have the same teacher for both years.

And oddly enough, in case you didn't catch the date, she started on a Friday! Who does that?

Taking Notes for the Next Birthday Party

Adlai is just a little messy when it comes to eating. So sometimes he goes shirtless. It's also been a bit warm so that explains his eating habits.

And so, I gave him some ice play with (this may have been so I could finish dinner). But he couldn't pick it up. Well, he tried and it must have been too cold. He still wanted the water portion so he did the next best thing.

And went for it.

I could see this being a good party game.
