Wow

I had to post a pic of my shy boy last year, same kind of shot-this is Austin at the beginning of JK!

As promised

Here is Austin at his school! He is the kid on the play structure in the JK/SK yard. My cell takes pretty great pics! He has grown so much in a year.

He is happy this year too whereas last year...not so much. But then the bully is not in his class anymore either. Cheers Austin, here is to a healthy happy year filled with learning, friends and fun.

No more boobies...

I forget if I posted this or not, but Gabriella is done breastfeeding. SHe weaned herself, and fast too. She discovered that with her bottle she can keep it in her mouth and whip her head around and check out what is going on in the room. SHe can lay on the floor by herself with it and chill out. So she was getting really frustrated on the boob, cause everytime she whipped her head around either I would yelp in pain, or she would lose her 'food' and yelp at me. So she just started nursing less and less, I wouldn't offer a bottle, just figured she would eat when hungry. But she won, and I am okay with that. I was very sad about it, but it has been 2 weeks since our last nursing section, and although I have one swollen sore boob and one that has almost disappeared, I am happy to have my freedom back. Be able to go and do whatever and she can feed herself, or I can leave her behind with ease. No more boobies. I get misty though when I stop and think, that was the last time I will ever nurse a baby again.

He broke it!

Hunter did not cry much yesterday but he complained alot. So when Luis came home I was armed and ready to go to the hospital-only Luis wanted to be the one to take him-good daddy! As it turns out he has a broken wrist, he is in a cast, and he seems happy as ever. I am so broken hearted over this, Austin feels terrible, which I feel he should, teach him to be more careful. I will snap a pic to post later.

Nothing like waking up to a THUNK!

It happened. Austin pushed Hunter off the top bunk. My poor two year old itty bitty. He has been favoring his wrist, which at first I thought was broken, but after a cold bag of peas and some baby motrin, he is doing much better. I think it may be a sprain, but to wrap it up is pointless on a child as small and active as he is. So I will keep an eye. He comes to me periodically for kisses on his 'booboo' and to tell me his woes. Poor little bugger. How did I deal with Austin? Well I am still mad, and I try not to punish when I am this mad, cause I may just be mean. Hey man, at least I am honest. So he got sent back to his bed and told to stay there till further notice. Another 15 minutes and I will go retrieve him for a talk, and we will go from there. What would you do?

Austin's First Day of SK

Oh dear. Let me start by saying I got NO pictures, I forgot my camera. We get there and Austin goes to his yard to play. I stand and chat with the moms and we wait for Mrs Turner...who never comes out. Finally the bell rings, she opens the door, the kids go in...and so does Mrs Turner! She didn't say a word! I go home.
2:15-the phone rings-shows up as Austin's School on Call display.

Me: Hello?

Mrs Turner: Hi it's Mrs Turner. Austin is here with me waiting for you, are you able to come get him?

Me: What??? Is he okay?

Mrs Turner: Yes, school let out an hour early today, 2:05 instead. Didn't you get the letter?

Me: (grunt) No! If I had I would have picked him up by now. How come you didn't come out and remind parents when we dropped them off. You never said a word to anyone-I am on my way.

(me hanging up on her)

James was still here so he hopped in his car to go get him. Poor kid. He said he had a great day though, and James said there were lots of parents there, who either forgot or like us, had no clue they were letting out early. Retard of a teacher! So today I will get pictures...and sit down and have a chat with her.
