The Sound of Silence

The house is super quiet right now - ahhh… and on a day where I don’t feel the need for a nap – ahhh :) Molly did SO well last night, it was the first time I was only up once with her in the night and the time she got up “for the day” was at a GOOD time, 7am. I was thrilled! She went down after her 10p feeding and slept until 2:30a, then wasn’t up til 7am. That right there my friend is a beautiful thing!

Jack had fun at school this morning – they are learning about the letter “B” right now. He’s so funny, he does so well. Here we worried over nothing, thinking he wouldn’t want to go back, that he’d cry. Nope. Just a big kid, we’re so proud of him. He’s told me about a little girl who cries every time her moms drops her off – well, I witnessed it today and it was more than just crying! This girl threw herself on the floor and was kicking and grabbing and lurching at her mom. The teacher looked over at me (cause I was watching this go down in sort of shock) and she made a face like “here we go” and sure enough, Jack’s teacher tries to grab the little girl and distract her with a puzzle, all the while getting smacked and punched herself. Yikes. And to think the thought of teaching preschool has appealed to me? HA! Needless to say, I think the child (and the teacher) survived. When Mikie, Molly and I went to pick Jack up, we sat in the back of the church sanctuary and watched the kids in “chapel.” A few minutes after we had been there, Jack turned around and saw we were waiting. He started waving and smiling as big as his mouth would allow :) It was so cute…

Once we were home from school, we had lunch and the boys were both “draggin.” I could tell Jack was whipped, so up they headed for bed. I fed Molly while putting them down and told them no screwing around today. Well, I came down here with Mol and heard footsteps. I assumed both boys were dinking around – nope, just Jack was up. Mikie is zonked. So I’m hoping now that I brought Jack back up there 10 minutes ago that he’s going to sleep. While I was up there, I laid Molly down too. Again I say, ahh the sound of silence :)
