Cade also hit a new milestone today. He started Mother's Day Out. He goes once a week and I think the interaction with other kids will be so good for him. He has always been outgoing and enjoys playing with others. It really did break my heart to see him walking with a "Cars" backpack, fireman lunchbox, and Baylor napmat. He just seems so big already and I can't belive my newborn is now off to school. I fought back tears while Gam-ee cried under her sunglasses. Next week, Gam-ee is the one who will get the "you are gonna have so much fun/no crying talk!" Hahaha... When we got there, we had to wait in the hallway for a few others being dropped off. Cade was fine during this part, even though the other 3 children were screaming. However, as soon as he walked through the door and saw that we were not coming...he started crying. We left quickly as not to upset him more. Then Gam-ee, Caelin and I went to Chick-fil-a for breakfast and then to Charles' campus to meet everyone. It was a fun filled day, but I was so anxious to get back and pick up Cade. When we arrived to pick him up, I was pleased to see he was totally quiet still laying on his napmat. The very same napmat he REFUSED to lay on at my house...these teachers are miracle workers! They said he cried for a little while this morning and then had a great day. He ate all his lunch and took a nap! Wow...do they have 5-day/week programs? Ha! After we picked him up, Gam-ee gave him a surprise (Pez dispenser) and Mommy took him to Chick-fil-a for ice cream. So, it was a great funfilled day for all.
This post is going to be a collage of what we've been up to these past few weeks. So often we have a few pics of what we have done and they pile up until I give in and do a random post...so here goes!
Girls Night Out at Church was a blast! Cindy, Heather , and I enjoyed a nice time at dinner and then went for dessert and Bible study.
Uncle Corey came in town for almost a week! We were able to spend some time with family dinners, dragging him to fun places with the kids, and letting Cade entertain him.
Our good friends from college, The Carpenter's, are finally moving back home from Canada! They came in town to buy their house and start moving! We were so excited to snag them one night for dinner. Cade and Avery (about 4 mo apart) had a blast playing together. We can't wait till their settled in here in TEXAS!
Baylor has calmed down a bit and spends his time laying on our bed watching the action between two kids, or more recently hiding from Cade under our bed. Cade loves He-Man and insists that poor Baylor is his Battlecat. Therefor Cade tries daily to saddle up and ride Baylor. I do not blame him for hiding!
Our amazing friends the O'Brien's also stopped for a visit to meet sweet Caelin. Emma and Cade got a chance to play while Kari and I were able to catch up on life. Sure wish we lived closer so we could be together more often!
Cade also got a tricycle and loves to attempt to ride it. I think he prefers his motorized car as it goes faster and provides more of a thrill. What can I say? My lil man has no fear and loves anything that goes fast.
Finally, we have also been able to spend time just relaxing on the couch and watching a little TV. Some days this includes Pajamas at 3pm...and others just a little before nap time. Either way, I will take any snuggle time I can get with the kids!
