Wednesday

Wednesdays are my office days. I go in at noon to reconnect with the staff at church for the week (since I usually work from home so I can multi-task raising these boys and working in every spare second). Side note: Its also our subway night. Aaron picks the boys up at his mom's after work and brings them out to my work where we all eat Subway then hurry off to AWANA. Speaking of sandwiches, my meetings are almost always sandwiched with some beautiful little boy time. Right now we're cuddling in my bed watching Veggie Tales. My heart is full because wild Mr. E is cuddling next me. Moms you know what a rare, glorious moment this is when your super active child decides to calm down and lay their head on your lap. I. am. in. heaven. As I look into his face I see that he is starting to lose the baby look. I have mixed emotions that he is growing and will continue to grow more dependent...Feelings of anticipation as I am quite literally desperate for things to get easier in my life and feelings of sadness knowing that I can't get this time back...will I forget his little mannerisms, his little toothless smile? How he feels so small in my arms? Oh brother, now I am crying.

Tonight we go to Sam's AWANA awards ceremony. So proud of that boy, all the verses he learned, and the socialization that occurred at AWANA this year. He's can be shy in a group so AWANA was our Phase 1 of prepping him socially for kindergarten (which doesn't start for a year and a bit). Phase 2 was to be preschool in the fall but I'm having second thoughts on that so we'll see.

Well its about time to start the long process of packing up the car and diaper bag and getting ready for the day so I will end and write again soon.
