Just Me!!

Valerie: Mom, I don't like going to school. The only part of the day I like is when I get a note from you in my lunch. Today I sent a musical card- Outside read: know what i do every single day? Inside: i send good thoughts your way Sings:i say a little prayer for you. forever, forever you'll stay in my heart and i will love you. Forever and ever we never will part(sorry, now I have you singing huh?)!!! I found the card this morning when I had to stop at Safeway for diapers on my way home from work. Special moments. I also snagged a great coupon book for kids. Today's coupon: Cash in this coupon to stay up an hour past your bedtime or to extend your curfew for one hour. Everyone should get this book...it will help brighten any child's day. I wonder how long she will hold on to the coupon?

OFF TO DO THE PUUUUYYALLLUP!

Ethan took a mental health day today. You know, you do this by calling in sick at work right? Well he took the whole day off from school and played at a nearby fun plex with his dad. I am so glad both of them had a chance to relax together and have tons of fun! I pray that this will help Ethan deal with some of his fears he has been having recently....GO AWAY NIGHTMARES!!!

Finally THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL...! I think everyone was ready for this day last week when everyone else went back. Ethan and Valerie were separated this year, by school and bus. Ethan will finally be able to walk himself to class (Valerie insisted to walk him to class every day last year). They were both very excited to go back. Valerie is enrolled in Endeavor this year, so she has her own special bus with just the Endeavor kids on board. Very cool! She was very excited to make a "great first impression," so she dressed to the tee...even though it was suppose to be 70 degrees today!
