Boys bein' boys

Our first full week of Kindergarten/working momdom is going well.  Yesterday, I put Evan on the bus while Russ kept Alec home and had breakfast.  I helped Evan onto the bus, quickly helped him with his sea tbelt, kissed him goodbye and went to leave.  The bus driver told me that today I couldn't get on the bus.  I guess I can understand...she has a limited time frame to get these little buggers to school but it annoyed me and made me feel protective of Evan.  He's my little guy and I want to make sure he's ok.  Plus it was only DAY 2!!  But this morning, Russ told him ahead of time that he'd have to just get on the bus on his own and he did just fine with it.  As so many have told me it would be...it's way harder for me than for Evan. So...I'll just make Russ do it.  hehe   Evan also went through the lunch line in the cafeteria and bought himself a chocolate milk...I'm so proud!  It seems like a silly thing but for Evan to try something new on his own is pretty huge.

Evan is finally showing a very small amount of athletic ability.  We'll start with bounce catch and see if we can move on to throw and catch from there.  He was pretty proud of himself and thought it was fun...yippee for outdoor fun!  

The picture of Alec is of him playing with big brother's legos just the way big brother does...sitting at the dining room table.  He had the legos in his hand and he walked over to the chair and made it very clear that he wanted to sit in the chair.  So I helped him up and he sat there for a long time and just played with the new Ninjago legos.  Very cute!  (IMHO)

Well...I still have school work to be doing but all in all I'm enjoying being back at work.  It's busy there and busy at home but I think I'm happier being busy, busy, busy.  

Today after work I got a huge treat of taking my first Taiko drum lesson!!  So fun!  Thanks Alice!  Hopefully pictures to come...lessons are on Tuesdays.  :)
