Monday we went to Jo's house for a tie dyeing party with all of the daycare kids and parents. It was a lot of fun! We made a couple of shirts for Zane and some onesies for Bobby...we'll hope they fit! It was great to see everyone but still know we had a couple of days to stay home!
Tuesday was a bittersweet day...we had a parent meeting at Zane's preschool! I was trying so hard to be strong and not let it bother me that my baby was going to be going to this big old school and was now a big boy...until I saw his name on a class list! Then we were walking down the hall to his classroom and Matt said "Oh, this is Zaner's new school!" I lost it then! Whoops! He will be going to preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays this year. I'm sure it will be harder on me than him! He is so lucky to get to go to a brand new school! His first day will be this Thursday the 14th, so we're going to go school supply shopping this week! While we were at the meeting, Zane stayed at Madelyn's house. We went out for supper with them after the meeting. Zane and Madelyn were sitting in the parking lot afterwards watching cars and this is what they did:
Wednesday was our last day home. Matt came home early so that I could go to the doctor and get my hair cut. My appointment was good, the only thing she said was "you jumped up in weight a little this month..." WHOOPS! I distinctly remember having heard the same thing when pregnant with Zane! I guess vacation and summertime wasn't good on me for weight...
Thursday was my first teacher work day. I have mixed emotions about it...ready to start a new year with a new class, but sad to not get as much time with Zane. Starting the year just gets us that much closer to meeting our little Bobby!
Friday after work we headed to Des. Moines for the Iowa State Fair! Zane was so excited to stay in the camper and he wanted to sleep "way up high" (in the bunk bed). We got there and he was all upset, not wanting to talk to anyone. I think he was under the impression we weren't honest with him and weren't going down to the fair. We did...and had a blast! He couldn't wait to ride the rides and had a lot of fun on them. Here he is on the bumper boats:
And here he is riding on the shuttle bus (a tractor pulling a wagon with seats). He just thought this was the greatest thing ever and just sat there so nicely!
Saturday morning we woke up and headed down to the fair again with Marcy and Chad for a couple of hours. Zane rode down the big slide with Marcy twice and got to meet Clifford! We left our camera at the camper, but Marcy had hers. I'll upload those pictures as soon as I get them from her. We headed back to Lenox around 1:00 so Matt could get the car ready for the races.
Today we went to the lake for breakfast and went boating/tubing/skiing/to the beach for the morning and early afternoon. We're trying to soak up all of summer we can! Zane was so good and didn't even get upset when we had to leave!
I am anxious for this week...I start with kids on Wednesday and take Zane to preschool for the first time on Thursday. It will be an emotional week for me...I hope I can stay strong for Zane!
Have a great week!
