I can't believe it has been 3 months since I last posted. My oldest did make it home from summer camp alive and happy. August was crazy -we went to South Dakota for 5 days. We convoyed out there with my sister and her family and my parents. Neither my sister or my parents had never been to S.D. before. We rented campers for 3 nights and had a blast. The only bad thing was that it was to dry to have campfires:( School started in September -even Will started preschool- which he is very much enjoying.
Today when I went to pick Will up his teacher motioned for me to come into the classroom so that I could see the little girl who Will had been playing with and holding hands with for the whole 2.5 hours he was there! The teacher of course thought it was soooooo cute- me- meh - I am not so sure... He is almost 4 -but geesh -a bit young for the girl thing isn't it? He has been a girl stalker since he was 2. I would take him with to pick up the girls from Quarry Hill (nature camp) and while we waited for the girls he would follow any cute little girl passing by until I made him leave. I would have to try and distract him so that I would not get evil looks from the girl's moms! Than this summer he would continually point out girls he liked -girls in toy catalogs -girls in advertisements -from 40 years old to 2 years old. He always comments on how pretty they are! Of course, dear husband thinks this is fine -that his 'boy' is on the right track. Myself, being the mom of 2 older girls and no boy raising experience -it worries me.
The one good thing I have going for me is that Will is not potty trained YET! Yes, he will be 4 years old in 2 weeks and not potty trained. I am the worst mom in the world. I am trying the patience card -that eventually -hopefully before he is 18 and an adult he will have discoverd that going on the potty is much better than wearing a diaper. If he is not trained by 18 -I am positive there will be no girls returning his interest.
Saturday is Tony and my anniversary -we will be maried 11 years. 11 YEARS! I do not feel old -yet we are clearly headed toward 50 years of age. To celebrate we are staying at a hotel in Mpls. Can you believe it -we will actually get to sleep in a bed -just the 2 of us -a whole night. No little boy inbetween us. No girls waking us and telling us they are scared and sleeping on the floor by the side of our bed. And we get to sleep until we ourselves wake up. No one crying or fighting. It will be our version of heaven.
