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!

Wednesday’s Hero
Wednesday Hero has been mainly about honoring the Men & Women of the United States military and bringing to light what they do for us, but it’s also honored those who’ve done something to help those same Men & Women. This week I want to introduce Jack Singer of Warwick, N.Y. You see, Jack recently celebrated his 10th birthday, and he did something very cool for a very good cause. He broke the world record for wearing the most pairs of underwear. 215 in fact. But why did he do this? To help raise money for Sgt. Eddie Ryan, a marine who was injured in Iraq five years ago. Now, think back to when you were 10 years old. How many of us could say that they would have forwent birthday presents to raise money for a good cause? I don’t think I would have. Jack Singer is, hands down, one of the coolest kids on the planet and I’m proud to honor him.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived
