Our Adventures: 21 Months & First Day of School!

21 MONTHS

June 16, 2011

Wow.... Not sure where to begin. Today was our baby's first day of school.. ok really it was Mother's Day Out... but, I am considering it his first day of school! In 21 months the only place Logan has been left is our church nursery for MOPS and church. Which in total time = about 3 hours max.

Today we woke up, ate breakfast, watched our 30 min. show (Cat in the Hat this morning), watered the veggies & plants, got dressed, packed lunch for school and then headed out! He went from 9:30-2 today and it was pretty much AWESOME for both of us! The beginning was a little rough for both of us, but when I picked him up and he didn't want to leave but kept shouting "Mommy look!" trying to show me all the new toys he got to play with and then pointing to all his new friends my heart melted and I KNEW he had a blast!

Also, he really did have 4 friends that he is familiar with in his class-- PTL! I was unaware that they had a nap time in which they usually sleep on mats (sorry when I laugh at this... my son, sit still on a mat for more than 5 seconds?? sorry teachers this one just won't happen) starting at 11:35.... yeah, I apologize to those sweet, sweet teachers who have Logan, but I am lucky most days if I get him down for a nap at 2. They said that they put him in a pack n play and he cried--only because he didn't understand what people were doing laying down at 11:35. I felt terrible for not asking more questions about schedule so I could tell them, but they said he handled it fine and just hung out for that time period.

I on the other hand from 10-12, got groceries and actually had a list and didn't veer from it because my brain was fully functioning and not multi-tasking, went home cleaned out refrigerator, put away groceries, made dinner list for the next week, mopped my floors, wiped my counters, put away laundry, finished dishes, and tidied up the house. Talk about feeling of accomplishment-- normally all that (to be done completely and well) would have taken me 2 days! I even got to have lunch with one of the sweetest, most loving ladies I know Ms. Linda. I can't tell you the last time I sat down for a lunch and had such a wonderful spiritually encouraging conversation like that! So thank you Lord for MDO! We will be coming back! :)
