Our Last Few Weeks

Garrett started 4th grade this past week. When he entered his new class room his new teacher told him to pick a desk. He looked around and finally settled on one next to some other boys. I asked him if he wanted me to leave and he said, "no." Then his best buddy from last years class walked in and all his nerves were gone! They started talking, and so I asked him again if he wanted me to stay and he said, "no, you can go mommy." Well, I know when I'm no longer needed... ;) In the meantime, I have been watching Olivia (my friends Barbara & Kyle's now 4 month old little girl). As her nanny and also as Garrett's mommy, my duties are all of a sudden doubled! I have never had to deal with two children at once, but I am adjusting. So far, taking Olivia to Garrett's school to pick him up in the afternoons has gone really smoothly. I know there might be days ahead where she is fussy, but for the time being she has been really chill... and Garrett has been very helpful and attentive. My only real complaint is the heat! I can't wait for the temperature to change and for fall to officially be here! But either way, my days have been filled with precious moments. Here are a few of them:

  1. First of all, whose fish is that? What a funny picture! It looks like you're really settling into the juggling of two kiddos at once. Garrett already looks older. We miss you guys!!! We need to plan the next get together soon!

  2. I am glad he found a friend in his class!!! That helps so much. And what a cutie pie you get to take care of! That reminds me of the days of picking up kids to bring them to the preschool I worked at. We would get a sonic drink every day because they were 1/2 price from 2-4. Those were the days. Glad you are having fun!!!!!! :)
