Not a baby anymore

Well, my baby girl isn't a baby anymore. I've actually known that for a long time, but when she's scared or sleepy, I still get the privilege of seeing my baby girl cuddle up to her Big B (a pretty big stuffed rabbit she's had since she was 3) and suck on her thumb. Not anymore. Yesterday was her appointment with the orthodontist to have her thumb guard installed. First they decided they needed to take out one of her baby teeth. Bless her she was SO brave. Not even a tear, well, at least not until we got into the car and then she lost it. It takes a little getting used to hearing her talk, because it changes her speech. She'll have to work extra hard in speech to get past this little hurdle, but I have faith that she can do it. Once we have this in for a few months, we should be getting the braces. I'm guess before Christmas.

Pick on my boy?

Seriously, some people just aren't that smart!! BJ's a big boy there's no mistaking that. So you would think, well at least I did, that kids would know NOT to pick on him.

See BJ was in his P.E. class yesterday and during a game of Dodge ball, accidentally hit a child in the face. It was certainly not intentional. BJ may be big . . . but the only person he is intentionally mean to is his little sister. So class ended and they proceeded to the locker to chagne for their next class. That's when it happened. The "injured" child teamed up with his older brother and proceeded to push my son around. Personally, I would have been okay if he KNOCKED their block off at this point. But being that our schools have a zero tolerance for violence, my son did exactly what he should have. He blocked the pushes and got away and reported it to his teacher.

I am doing my best to go through the correct channels and let the school handle this. But do you know how hard it is knowing someone wished harm on my baby? Yeah, I know my baby is bigger than I am, but he's still my baby!!

Please pray I keep my composure and that I don't go up to the school like some crazed overprotective momma.

1st day of school

BJ starts 6th grade

Bailey starts 3rd grade

Well believe it or not it's that time again. I know it seems too early!! But BJ and Bay started school this past Monday. We're getting into the swing of things like getting up too stinkin early!!

This is our first year with both kids going to different schools and both riding the bus. They've always been car riders. So as luck would have it . . . we had a small bus fiasco on Monday with BJ. The bus never came. His friend's mom ended up calling the bus depot and they sent a bus special for the 2 boys, but they got to school about 30 minutes late. What a way to start the school year. Thankfully everything got corrected and we had no bus incidents yesterday.
