Mommy Guilt

Alec started a new daycare today (we have had an amazing summer babysitter) So I of course had a big 'ol dose of 'Mommy Guilt' to swallow.....even though its part-time, the guilt isn't any less.  He had a fantastic first day, they said he was 'Good' and gave him all smiley faces on his little progress report (what more can a working mother ask for???)  and by the looks of this, they WORE him out!!!

We found him passed out on our bed at 9pm half way through a DVR episode of "Rescue Heroes" this is so unusual for him! Sweet little Buddy........Love HIM!!!

And HER!!!

SMILE

I remember my SMILE when I found out my name was changing to Mommy.....

I remember dreaming into your eyes and wondering what your first SMILE would look like.......

I couldn't wait for that first SMILE......

I remember Daddy's SMILE when you finally did SMILE.......

I remember all your little SMILES......

I know how to make you SMILE.......

I usually know why you have No SMILE.....

I know that teared up SMILE  I had when I sent you off to Kindergarten......

I SMILE as I watch you Dance, Score a Goal, Swim or act Silly......

I've caught myself with a SMILE just because of something you said........

You make me SMILE.....

Tonight your SMILE changed.......

Like you, it's a good SMILE......

To think you lost your third tooth, made me cry  SMILE......

We all Love your new SMILE.....

Recent Conversations

Kids have a funny way of making you want to scream laugh......

We went Up North this weekend, just me and the girls (and kids) and on the way home I had this conversation with Macy...

Macy "Mom are we in Michigan yet??"

Me "Honey, we never left Michigan....we just went Up North"

Macy  " Oh, Up North is still in Michigan?"

Me  "Yes Honey its still Michigan, and remind we when we get home to give you a Geography lesson"

Macy  "Whats a 'Guy-jog-raffy' lesson?'

Me  "I am going to show you a map of Michigan and show you the different places we go"

Macy  "OK,  are we there yet..... this is taking Forever"

Remind me to have a lesson on 'Patience' too!

Now for the Boy version of a recent conversation.....

Alec  "Mommy can you tie this blanket around me?"

Me  "Sure what are you going to be Honey?"

Alec  "I'm getting Married"

Me  "Oh, that's fun....Who are you Marrying?"

Alec  "You Mommy"

Love HIM

You Two Melt my Heart........XOXOXOXOXO

This little Cat....

This little Cat has been keeping me running all Summer, going here, going there, this play date, that play date, the Pool, the Park, the Zoo, the bike rides, the sidewalk chalk, the coloring, the camps, Reading her online books.......she on occasion has even had the nerve to complain she is bored!!  She is definitely ready to go back to school (which she asks about every other day "how many days until school starts?").....I love this busy little Cat!!

She is a Beautiful little Cat 

Like Father Like Son

I think its every Father's Dream to watch their Son Play

with the Tonka Trucks they grew up
