Happy birthday Isaac!

Logan's friend Isaac turned 6 last month but they waited until today
(post-holiday madness) to celebrate with friends. The party was at a
very serious gym (training older kids competitively), and I really
liked how they ran thru the exercises for the party. If it weren't so
far away, I'd consider putting the boys in a class or two!

It was our first experience of a "drop off party" where Isaac's mom
said I could leave Logan and come back in a couple of hours if I
wanted. Logan was actually a little shy and nervous when we first got
there because there were some kids he didn't know (Isaac started
kindergarten this year so he's no longer at the same school as Logan),
so I decided I'd better stick around. I don't think he's yet at the
age for me to just drop off, feels a little weird, but other parents
seemed to feel the same so I wasn't the only over protective parent
sticking around. ;-)

No surprise, Logan warmed up to the other kids pretty quickly and
ended up having a great time - even commenting to me afterward how fun
the party was. :)

Home sick

Yesterday Callum stayed home sick from a fever. Jon stayed with him
because it was my first week on the new job and I didn't want to make
any bad impressions. ;-)

Apparently he asked for me all day long, and would run to the door
yelling "Mommy's home!" anytime he heard any noises. So, when I
(actually) did get home, he was thrilled to see me. We snuggled on the
couch together until bedtime. :)

Out with the old, and in with the new

Just picked up the boys' new chest of drawers this evening. They'll
replace my (first) old dresser and the changing table (which we've
also been doubling as spillover from the dresser).

As sad as I am to get rid of my old dresser (and the crib/changing
table), this will give us a ton more room for the boys' clothes.

We also got a trundle to put underneath their bunk bed, for
sleepovers. The boys are very excited about all of their new stuff. :)

Just call me Mama Footrest

Another Houdini escape

This time I locked all of the doors. But persistent Tobey literally
bent the side of the crate open in order to get out. Determined to do
what you ask?

Curl up on the couch for a nap. *sigh*

Today was my last day

A walk down Tellme memory lane this morning. I'll miss working with the great friends I've made over the last 6.5 years, but excited about the next adventure I'm about to tackle (on Monday). 

Woo! :)

Tough kid right there

I took Logan in to get four different shots this morning, in
preparation for his Kindergarten registration coming up (a big
milestone - yikes!).

He didn't whine or squirm or cry. In fact, he looked at Dr. Safir
after the first two shots and said "What? That didn't even hurt!"

Suffice to say, Safir and I were very impressed and proud of his
bravery. And, as a treat, we're now at Starbucks chowing down on his
favorite, a morning bun. ;-)
