Today

Today, instead of finishing the laundry, cleaning the bathroom, and the many other things I had on my list of things to do before I had to go to work, (which by the way, never seems to get smaller) I started a back tickle line with my kids and niece Bella. We all sat in a line and drew pictures on the person's back in front of us, then told each other what we drew, then we'd say "switch" and move around so we were drawing on someone else's back. It was the best half hour of my day! I had forgotten how fun it is to play with my children!

By the way, in case you were all wondering...Nate did very well going to Kindergarten his second day. He told me he wasn't going to cry this time, and he didn't. The third day went just as successfully. And now, while he's been going fine and there's been no tears, and he seems to be happy when I pick him up, he tells me every night that he doesn't want to go to school anymore. I'll ask him why and he'll come up with some silly reason like he doesn't like "role bear" (a puppet bear that Miss Pati uses sometimes), or that he doesn't like Mr. Nosy (yep, the one from the Mr. and Mrs. book collection! Remember those?). What a kid. Although, its nice to know that he love's being at home with his family and misses his Momma! well at least thats why I think he doesn't want to go to Kindergarten! Who would when you could spend the day drawing on each other's back's! Here's to hoping that one day he'll be as excited to go to school as I was when I was a kid!
