WE were able to get in a few fun things, playdates and even saw "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" in 3D...That was one of my favorite books in school and I was so happy to be able to share it with the boys. I think they had a great time and it was cool watching Jaydon have fun with his buddy. The "big boys" were able to sit by one another and I think that made them proud.
It is so weird. It is so hard to watching your kids grow up. It seems as though they do it in one day. I still think back to last year and I cant believe how mature Jaydon seems now from last year. He is more in control of his feelings and I think hes is becoming more comfortable with himself.
Wednesday night I took Jaydon to Bible Study at a new place hes never been to, and out of our home city. Is was such a big boy and was ready to conquer this new class all by himself. He took off waved good bye and I was standing there thinking "are you the same little boy that cried EVERYDAY last year when I dropped you off for preschool"..."are you really going to go all by yourself into the church not knowing anybady?" and you know what I followed him into the chapel to make sure he was ok! I was so confused and bewildered I didn't know what to do with myself. It was such a surreal moment for me. I couldn't believe how much he changed, and my heart was hurt "just a ittle bit" cause my baby didnt need me. (now for those of you wondering why I would take Jaydon to a new place and just leave him there, not knowing anyone, he was actually going there with a friend from school, but that friend was not there yet, so I wasn't just leaving my kid in the hands of strange people without checking it out first and making sure he would know someone;) ) I am proud of Jaydon for enjoying his situation and making a few new friends out of it. He has had a lot of new beginnings this year, School, soccer, bible study and Sunday School, and pretty soon Ice Skating. I am happy to say hes embracing everyone and trying to make friends from every activity. Thats not to say hes still not shy, but he always says he wants to be the coolest kid, so I tell him that cool kids are friends with everyone no matter what, and I think he is taking that advice to heart and making his momma proud along the way.
Even though we had a crazy week I am proud to say i got some serious organizing done this week. I was able to get the boys system started...I have a few things to tweak and a little more decorating to do. I was also able to get the boys art center started...same thing a little tweaking to do and it will be ready. It feels good to do, but it take so much and I am hoping it will help keep us a little organized. I still feel like there is so much more to do, I havent even started on the garage, my room or the bathrooms. Hopefully I will find the time and the funds to get it all done, it has been a goal of mine for at least a year to get things organized and situated to how I "exactly" want them. That is hard to do, cause you spend your time searching for the right thing and sometimes that doesn't exist, but I am doing my best. Then once everything is put together and organized its time to paint...maybe I'll never be done. Oh well at least I am having a little fun doing it.
So as my time is working itself out, I am happy to report I am finding little spurts of time and enjoying the calm. My goal is to soon have more quiet time and less chaotic time, but I am slowly learning if I just push through the sand will settle and we'll be in a routine. Hopefully that routine doesn't become boring!!
Here is a picture of my parent and kids when they were up visiting a few weeks ago!!
