Week One of Thomas's school year is complete. Somehow, he made it all three days. Can we do five in a row? Not sure. ha! Tucker came down with not only Thomas's cold, but also a nasty stomach virus and cut a new tooth. He has slept very little since Wednesday. Needless to say we all need some rest this weekend. Thomas is feeling much better (although tired) and Tucker did eat his first real food in 2 days...thank goodness he's ADDICTED to animal cookies. Can't resist them.

Thomas hasn't said too much about school, but has said he likes it fine. He'll tell us the most at random moments...like the fact that he has a tall friend, but hasn't thought to ask his name yet. The tall friend did not sit with him on the bus today....a GIRL did instead. Hum. He claims he forgot her name. Yeah right. He likes his music teacher and in art he PAINTED but only with red. I asked him if he'd please drop out of school and stay home with me again and he answered, "But Mom, I've GOT to learn. I'm not a daddy yet." I THINK he uses daddy as a term for adult, but maybe he thinks daddy's are brainless. Matt was concerned over which way to interpret the remarks. :)

I uploaded a few photos from the last few weeks of summer.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and well wishes as Thomas began his 1st ever school year.  He's been sick for 2 days and hasn't slept much (ok, me neither) due to LOTS of coughing.  However, without a fever we let him go on to school.  He barely said goodbye when we got there; he was VERY happy to see his classroom(as was Tuck to be an only child for the morning).  However Thomas's bus, according to him, took "da wrong path home" and thus he was on the bus TWO hours.  For the first time in his life, he was speechless.  I had a hard time getting anything out of him at all, but over the last hour he has finally said that he had gummies for snack, you can't throw rocks on the playground, and you must be quiet in the hall.  Some "childrens" were bad.  1 child cried.  1 is VERY tall.  Stay tuned.....
