Last night I put the boys to bed and although we had a full day (yard, swimming, fishing with Paw Paw) - they stayed up for about an hour talking. Carter was telling him all about what to expect in recess and lunch and how the art teacher yelled a lot. It was really sweet and just what I had envisioned for them when we decided they would share a room. I think it will make a big difference in their relationship now that they share the same school and have a similar experience at school.
This morning, JM was complaining that his stomach hurt, but I think he was just anxious. I made a big breakfast with their favorite link sausage and biscuits, fruit and juice. (Gotta keep that vitamin C up now that we are back in the germ factory!) When I dropped them off, Carter went on to his classroom and left me and John Michael just plopped right down like he has always been there. I went to see Carter and give him his school supplies and his teacher had them all sitting there quietly reading a book! Amazing! I think I am going to really like her!
I did not cry. I am a little sad thinking about how much they change each year and how much John Michael, especially, will change this year in his first real school year. And how fast it all goes! When I took Carter, JM was laurel's age and now look! It's fleeting. I would like them to stay this size for a longer time. When I can make them happy by throwing them in the pool and giving them butterscotch haystacks and our worst problems might be difficulty getting them to follow instructions...
Laurel and I did a big bathroom clean this morning - trust me, the tub so needed it! Now she is napping and I am going to finish the laundry and eat a sandwich. It's just so quiet here! I don't know if I know how to have just one child anymore!
