to make the story short. what the pediatrician thought the problem was, was confirmed by the specialist that it is NOT the problem. there is NO problem. this means no surgery, no increased risk of a couple other scary things. we'll go back in one year for a recheck but the doctor doesn't foresee any future problems at all! phew! best news mama has ever heard!
friday afternoon we then went to pick up J from work & headed to colton's school for the mandatory new parent meeting. learned a lot about the school & the rules during the hour long meeting & then we were free! roamed around the campus a little. bought school spirit shirts, one for him ... & one for me. because i am totally that mom! anybody who knows me, isn't surprised.
it was finally time for him to meet his teacher. we couldnt be more happy! she is young & spunky & energetic! she seems like she is going to be great!
yesterday morning we went to braedon's school for open house & i admit it was nice to see old faces. colton's teachers were wonderful last year & i am so excited they get to teach braedon this year. brae was pretty excited to check out his new school. colton loved seeing his teachers again, gave them big hugs & told them all about his new school.
when it was time to leave, braedon started bawling. im talking crying so hard you can breathe kind of crying. he just didnt want to go! i am glad he likes being there. i hope he is that excited about it when we drop him off tuesday & i hope he doesnt act like that everyday when it's time to leave, or i might have to invest in ear plugs, for the entire school.
a little while after we got home my neighbor came over & invited us all to her son's birthday party. we've probably only talked a handful of times since they moved in about a year ago. so the gesture was extremely nice. the boys & i ended up heading over there. they rented one of those huge, inflatable water slides. the kids were thrilled. they just played & played & the little boy (10) was so nice to the boys! eventually brae came over & fell asleep on my lap. after spending a couple hours of fun in the sun, the rain was coming so we decided to head home. we went to say goodbye & the boys wanted to say thank you. she wouldn't let us leave until we had food so the kids had hotdogs, i had a sandwich & she even sent a plate home for jeremiah. so sweet! i later caught him scraping every last bite of the plate, apparently she is a good cook!
today is nothing special. J is at work, like usual, the kids are playing & i am just trying to get some stuff down before things get crazy when school starts! i mean seriously, tonight is our last night of summer freedom. by tuesday we'll all be in bed early because we'll be waking up at 6am everyday.
i am excited to see them grow & really am excited for this new adventure at the same time, it's just so sad.
can we just pause these next two days ... for like a month ....
