Ok....so it's been awhile

Ok...lets start with a photo


This isn't a photo they did in school. I just felt like taking him for a special picture because he was starting school for the very 1st time. I think it came out real well. You would never know he had surgery. Thank God for NYU!





Now for all the school info. He is doing really well. It was a rough 2 weeks for him (and me!). He cried every time I had to leave and as soon as I left the room I was crying too. He would grab on to me and tell me not to go. After about a week and a half he started getting better. A little teary but I was able to leave without my heart breaking. Now I can get out of there without a tear but he still doesn't want me to leave. His teacher told me that he is very smart, well DUH! I know that, LOL!


He actually took school pictures already. Hopefully they will be back by the end of the month. He has had 2 fundraisers already. And now he has another one to do. Nothing like Catholic School. He is also going on his first school trip next month with the afternoon jr. pre-k. To a petting zoo. Where they get to feed the animals. Milk the cows. In November. Anyone else see the problem with this? The cold, possible snow/rain, stinky animals and about 30 three year olds and their parents. Should make for an interesting day.


Class & individual photos to come as soon as I get them (Yes everyone will get one I ordered a good size package). Also his Halloween photo. Gotta go have that done. I am slacking this year. Usually I have it done by now. I have had his costume for 2 weeks now. I won't ruin the surprise though!


I will leave you with this little gem that happened the other night before bed........... They have religion class every Wednesday (yes they start them early) so I decided to start teaching Mikey to say his prayers before bed. I figured this was short and sweet.


Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the Lord my soul to keep.If I should die before I wake,I pray the Lord my soul to take.


Mommy: Now I lay me down to sleep
Michael: Now I lay me down to sleep
Mommy: I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Michael: I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Mommy: And if I die before I wake
Michael: I will go in the ambulance
Mommy: No Mikey, say what I say; and if I die before I wake
Michael: I will get better
Mommy: Mikey come on, please say it; and if I die before I wake
Laughter coming from the other side of the bed. Mike is hysterical.
Michael (seeing his dad is laughing): I will go in the ambulance and get better
Mommy:Mikey come on, please say it, don’t look at daddy; and if I die before I wake
Michael: And if I die before I wake
Mommy: I pray the Lord my soul to take
Michael: I pray the Lord my soul to take
Mommy (giving daddy the evil eye): Excuse me Mr. Catholic School all his life, should you be laughing at this?
Daddy: I’m sorry, it was funny

Hi there. My name is Heather. I found your blog via Jackie's blog about Emily. My twins were both born with clefts.

Just had to tell you that this prayer is the funniest thing. It made me laugh. He definitely was thinking positively!!
