These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives just so others may get to enjoy freedom. For that I am proud to call them Hero.

From Crib To Preschool
Todays was Will’s first day of school (Madison doesn’t start till Wednesday). He has the same teacher he had last year, so he was quite excited to go. I found his Spiderman shirt over the summer and had put it away for today. Will was beyond excited that he had Spiderman shoes, Spiderman socks, Spiderman underwear and his Spiderman shirt. All of that matched his Spiderman backpack. Do you sense a theme here? Now, if I could have only found Spiderman black convertible cribs, my life would be complete. :) Instead, we had to settle on the 3 in 1 convertible cribs which (as you’ve seen from my prior posts about when you move your kids from a Baby Crib Station set in the toddler bed conversion) has worked pretty good so far.
It is hard to believe that Will is in his second year of preschool though. He looks like such a little man, and instead of being the youngest in his class, he’s now an elder at 4! (He is still one of the youngest of the returning students though).
Last year, I was not allowed to leave until he walked into school. He literally thought I stood outside and waited for him till school was over (and no, I didn’t. I went home but he never knew that). Fast forward to this morning. They were waiting for the bus before they went into school, and we were told we could leave if we wanted. I asked Will if I should leave, and he told me yes! Then when I didn’t move fast enough, he told me I could leave again.
It is quite amazing how far he’s come in a year!

The Shopping Trip
Ok, so clothes shopping yesterday wasn’t the end of the world. I actually found everything I needed at Target. I had a gift certificate (Thanks Ted!), so I used that to buy two pairs of shorts and two shirts. I bought myself a new pair of shoes too, since I could not find my sandals (which magically appeared after I got home). Normally trying to find clothes is like looking for Kentucky Derby Party Invitations — you know, extremely hard to find. I lucked out. I also ended up buying Bill’s niece two dresses for her birthday in July. They were too cute, and I knew if I didn’t buy them now, they wouldn’t be there when I went back. Overall, it was a pretty productive shopping trip. I just wish they all went that well.
