unless it bakes in the North Carolina summer sun onto your baby's car seat.
Whew!! Stinky. Even the boys complained about the smell.

First day of work...
First day that is, without the wonderful nanny, Laura, we had all summer.
My friends kidded me about my "nanny, " but, with 3 kids it was a definite money saver. The kids adored her and she took them swimming, and to Discovery Place. She returned to her job as an elementary school teacher and the world is a better place for it.
However, I had to get all 3 guys up, dressed, fed, teeth brushed, and taken to daycare/preschool/Aunt Jill's house. I had forgotten how stressful the process was, spoiled by Laura.
Hayden went to my sister's house because his school hasn't started yet. When Luke found out Hayden was going to Aunt Jill's house without him, he cried. I tried to tell him Aunt Jill wasn't all that, especially because she stole sweaters and I had to drive her to high school when she was a lowly sophomore, but Luke would hear none of it. They have a great time with Jill and her boys.
So, all 3 boys dropped off, I could finally relax for about the 10 minutes I had alone while driving to work.
Whew, glad I'm off tomorrow!

First day of school
My youngest 2 guys started school today. Luke is in the 4's preschool class, and Ben has started toddler daycare. Luke was happy to be starting because he got to go to the "big kids" class and play on the "big kids" playground. He was so excited, when he arrived at school he was jumping around and fell and his nose started bleeding. He was a trooper, though. He stopped crying, washed up in the bathroom and said "OK Mommy, I'm ready!"
Ben was a little more difficult. He's never been in daycare, so this was new to him. He went in with all of us easily enough, he started playing. When it was time for us to go, he cried. His teacher took him to look out the window and the rest of the day was uneventful. When I came to pick him up (3 hours later), he did the happy dance and I received the best hug. He is now napping with no problems.
Hayden starts Year 2 (first grade to us Americans) at the British School after Labor Day.
I wish they would stop growing!
Why can't they stay little forever?
