What a busy day!

Today has been a very busy day for both Lukie and Gio. Lukie had his first day at a Montessori school. Gio had his 2-years-old checkup at the pediatrician. I started the day with breakfast for both of them. It was hard for Lukie to sit down and eat first thing in the morning. Gio was easier. I got them dressed and we headed off to school. It took us about 20 minutes to get there. Lukie was so excited and very happy with the welcome from his teachers and friends. I wish Charlie was there with us. Too bad I couldn't stay with Luke. The teacher said she would call if Lukie wanted to see me before the pickup time. I gave her Charlie's cell number but she never called. lukie did great today.

After saying goobye to Luke, I drove to the doctor's office for Gio's well check. I got there with plenty of time to spare so I went to a nearby carwash. After that I took Gio to the park for about 20 minutes. He had fun running and climbing. It was a little too windy for us, though. Then we went to the doctor's office.

Gio's checkup went well. He was ahead on his vaccines so he didn't need any shots today. Lucky boy.

We stopped at Panera for lunch to go. I got some kid mac and cheese for Lukie and a grilled cheese sandwich for Gio and me. Gio ate his sandwich while I drove to pick up Lukie at school.

When we got to the school, Lukie's class came out to the playground. I saw Lukie running and looking very happy. A moment later the teacher came and said that he was a delight and they were very happy to have him there. I'm happy that Lukie likes the school and seems to be adapting well.

Lukie didn't want to eat the mac and cheese or grilled cheese. He asked fro chicken nuggets instead. I stopped at Burger King for chicken nuggets and Lukie ate them. He shared one with Gio, who had almost finished his grilled cheese. I took Lukie to his Pre-K for afternoon class. He seemed a little tired but he said he wanted to go.

I dropped Lukie off and drove back home so Gio could nap. I got some time to use the bathroom and get myself a real lunch. I didn't even have breakfast this morning.

At 2:30 p.m. I woke up Gio and took him with me to pick up Lukie. On the way home, Lukie said he just wanted to finish his chore (emptying the little garbage pails into the big one) and relax by playing Nintendo DS. I laughed because he had such a busy day. I let him do as he asked.

Love to see both of my sons grow and very thankful to be able to have every day with them.

Mommy loves you guys so much.
