First Grade

Every night I tell Nicholas that I wish that Santa would bring me a shrink ray. I would love to shrink Nicholas back to when he was a baby. Where did my little baby go?? How on earth can he be in the first grade? I miss the days of staying in our pj's and hanging out together, just the two of us. I miss going to the Zoo, Aquarium, and Park whenever we felt like it. I really miss Friday playgroups with all the moms and kids. I miss not working because it was so much easier and much less tiring! Plus child care costs half my check every month!! Oops - I went a little off topic there - I just miss those baby days when they wanted to be held and kissed - oh wait, they are still like that. I believe it was just two hours ago that they were both on my lap hitting each other and trying to knock the other one off. Ah, memories. I even missed Nicholas first day, I wasn't the one who dropped him off at school on that scary yet exciting first day. At least it was Nana who shared the experience with him, for that I am very grateful and thankful. My baby boy is growing up too quick.

A New Bed

Nicholas has started waking up in the middle of the night again. The habit was broken last spring but has now reappeared. Last night I was tired so when Nicholas came in at 2 am I just said go back to bed. When Christopher woke me up this morning, up popped Nicholas out of nowhere. Turns out he slept on Alli's bed in the corner of my room. Not only was Nicholas covered in dog hair but he also smelled a little. What was he thinking??
