Today I put Lyman on the bus again and realized that tomorrow marks 2 weeks since I first put him on the bus and waved goodbye to my not-so-little-anymore boy. I am thankful that he gets to go to kindergarten, I miss him but I love seeing the way he has risen to the challenge and has matured. Well for the most part, you notice the little dots on the belly of his shirt below? That is from the syrup he spilled on his shirt from the pancakes I cooked him for his first day of school.
Why does this picture make me feel like I am going to be waving goodbye to him for the rest of my life now?
I am thankful also for this little girl. And little is very accurate. Although extremely active and a good eater, this little girl remains a nymph. She is 15 lbs 3oz as of this weeks 9 month well child check. That puts her in the 3rd percentile. She is tall though - her height is around the 70th percentile. It looks like another one bites the proverbial-Andrew's-genetics dust. She loves the washing machine and stands there talking to the clothes excitedly. Maybe this is why I am so sick during pregnancies - because my kids come out with less than half of my own genetics due to his strong-arming, genetic bullying. That's ok, because I have a pretty awesome husband with pretty awesome genes. Whether it is genes or jeans - he looks pretty dang good regardless.
I am thankful for the gloomy, rainy day we are having today. I love hearing the thunder and having the house look all dark during the day. Sunshine is great most of the time but sometimes a hot chocolate, chick flick, stormy day is exactly what a girl needs. Now to choose a chick flick with Corilynn - Princess Bride anyone?
