*** I went into work tonight and saw K.  As soon as I saw her, I waved and she waved back.  So I asked if we were cool and she said yeah.  So it looks like work will be fine - which is nice.  I just want to go to work to work, no drama, no fuss no muss.

*** Quick brag, today Susanna made the poop face - red face while pooping - and as soon as she finished, she pointed to her diaper and lay down waiting for me to change her.  What a smartie pants!  I think my 17 month old may be ready to potty train soon!  WOO HOO!  No more diapers.

*** Today it hit me that with Sam and Kit going to school in the fall, it is the first steps to them leaving me.  Ok, granted, we have many years of school - but from this point forward, it will be school.  I had this uncontrolable urge to bubble wrap them and lock them in the bathroom, lol.  This time is flying by tooooooo fast and it makes me so sad - even tho I am so happy they are growing and healthy and doing all the things they should be doing.

Sam gave Ben some of her money tonight to help pay for Montessori school.  She knows we are saving so she wanted to help.  She is so excited to go!  She can't wait to do chapter books and multipication.  Tonight Ben was talking to her about symbiotic relationships and she said she knew of one.  Her example was bees and flowers.  I think that is very lateral thinking for my 5 year old.

I think Montessori will be good for Kit too cause he is so sensitive.  When he gets overwhelmed and doesn't know what to do, he shuts down and won't speak.  Today when I went to get him from childwatch at the Y, he was standing in the corner.  Apparently he had been for awhile and he wouldn't talk to anyone.  When I asked him what was wrong, he was sad and angry cause an older girl told him he couldn't play.  We talked about how he could go to the teachers and he can even ask for me.  This made him feel better cause it gave him recourse.  Anyway, in a Montessori school, I think they will be sensitive to this.  I am afraid in reg preschool, he would spend a lot of time in Time-out cause they would think he is just being stubborn.

Side note, I made it CLEAR that on no uncertain terms is my child to stand in the corner like that ever again.  The response I got was that he was wasn't crying.  I further EXPLAINED that as much as I like to get my work out in, my kids are my 1st prirority and standing in the corner for 1.5 hours is NOT acceptable.  They are to come and get me.  I was livid, but the kiddos were there, so I smiled and left.
