A Day of Firsts!!!


It is amazing how taking just one child out of the mix, it doesn't matter which child, can change the noise level of the house dramatically. Maria started her first day of First grade today. The house has been so quiet! Lillian immediately headed up to Maria's room to play with Maria's barbies and polly pockets... I later found her quietly laying on the floor with Hoops, reading him a story. She said she and Hoops are gonna miss Maria "well.... maybe just a little bit...". Mikey has been running around with his father all day (Mike is working nights for the next few days..). And I have been enjoying the newly regained tranquility of the house. Ahhhh..... it is so nice. Later this week Lillian will start preschool for 3 days a week and I am even going to send Mikey for an hour every Friday. That means for one hour each week I can sit on the couch and eat my breakfast and Little Debbie cake (or treat of choice) without any kids begging for any. I can't wait.


On another note, I have to tell you all that Mikey has decided to pee like a man. Yesterday he peed standing up. He likes making the bubbles. It is hilarious watching him because his little peepee barely clears the rim of the toilet. There he is, on his tiptoes all hunched over the bowl with his peepee in his fingers trying with all his might to make sure it flips over the edge of the toilet. My little guy is growing up!

Well I can't wait until Maria gets home and I can hear all about her first day of school! She is going to be exhausted I am sure... Until next time!
