What happen to my little boy? One minute I'm mommy and the next I'm mom... Today, we went to register him for middle school. He will be attending the local middle school right up the street. I asked if I could take some pictures of him while we were at the registration and he agreed, but by the time we arrived the parking lot was packed and I didn't want to embarrass him by pulling out the camera. So I caught this one at the pool, look at him flex those muscles... As he was reading over some of the papers that were given out he noticed how many dances there were going to be and said something to the effect of finding a girlfriend... Girlfriend.... Has he lost his mind? He just turned 13 and now he's talking about girls... What's next.... I've already set down the ground rules about dating in this household. Hopefully, they'll abide by them. Yes, I know what it was like to be young. So don't go there!!!!!
Jessie has been home for only a day and she's been wonderful... Tom and I are trying to get her ready for school in a couple of weeks so she has been working on refresher books to get her back into the groove of things... I wanted to wake her up right before I start work but Tom has her waking up earlier and she been so nice about it. She actually getting her work done. I'm so proud of her!!! Before getting her to do things was like pulling out your hair. That how painful it was but she's been absolutely wonderful. She was a big help today. She made a fruit salad and actually offered to wash the dishes and put them away. I had to brag to her dad about how wonderful she had been today. I hope she keep up the good work for when school starts. Fourth grade is a big year for her at least I think so, she's no longer a baby. I tried to tell her dad something today and he thought I was absolutely crazy!!! As far as he's concerned she will be his baby forever.
This was after returning from our trip to Hollywood. They were both involved in a new video game. These two are inseparable. Last night when it was time to go to bed who should join us. I don't ever think I will get my bed back. I was telling Jessica the story of when she was a baby and the three of us had to sleep on the floor because she couldn't sleep in her crib and when she slept in the bed with us she would fall out. So low and behold all three of us had to move to the living room floor for six months. Tom is going to be in a world of hurt when she turns into a teenager. Poor guy if he only knew....
Another summer birthday and what a spectacular day we had. We went down to Hollywood not my first choice but it was her day and she had a great time. First stop, Build a Bear workshop. I'm amazed the money that you can spend in that place. This year we made it out of there with only spending about 60.00. Last year we took her and spent almost 100.00. This time we were was well prepared. From there we walked the strip of Hollywood Bl. We saw Jack Sparrow I made Jessie go up and take a picture w/ him. He was nice about it since it was his break and all. We took a spin around Clairs and she got a couple of things. We had a great time. Happy 9th Birthday!!!! Of course the party will continue through out the weekend. So I keep you updated on all of the activities.
