Here is week one.

September 7, 2008 - We have been taking walks around the neighborhood right before it gets dark. It is great therapy for my son and wonderful bonding time for all of us. I can also see how paroinoid I have made my children about cars and being in the street. They see a car coming and they are like deer in headlights. They just stand still as I am telling them "car!" I have to physically move them to the side of the road. "The future therapy" jar is getting a payment this week from mom. I posted more pictures from our walk here and here.

September 8, 2008 - 1st Day of Pre-school and all is well. I wrote about his first day here. He did fabulous! I was so proud.

September 9, 2008 - Was the Goddess' very first school day. She was eager to go and asked about leaving for school for the 2 hours before we left. For more detail and photos come over here.

September 10, 2008 - This was a photo I snapped as she was getting ready to go to ballet. She was ready 4 hours before we had to go. Talk about loving her ballet class. This is a totally staged face which has always been her specialty.

September 11, 2008 - Here are my babies as they leave the car and head toward school eager and smiling. What more can a mom ask for?

September 12, 2008 - The end of the evening after a very long week. Here is my son brushing before bed. He had just taken his brand new beloved boxing gloves after wearing them for 4 hours so that he could actually use his hands. More on that later.


September 13, 2008 - I watched my daughter tracing her foot. She was just quietly sitting there, usually she tells us every single line she makes. This time she was just experiencing on her own. I love that she can find things to keep herself busy. She shocks me with her ability to entertain herself. My son was never like this when he was younger. Probably because he never had to. I was his playmate 24/7.

September 14, 2008 - My son called me in to take his picture with his cat and dog. Not the living breathing kind, but his stuffed animals. He was in his sister's room waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. (I love that they play with each other most of the time). Seeing my son lying in what used to be his room and his old crib makes me melancholy sometimes. It is a reminder of how fast life is.
