Mikala turns 2


Just two short days after Budah started school Mikala turned 2. OMGosh, where has the time gone. She is growing up so fast. Her vocabulary is growing daily. She is a little on the sassy side which can be funny as can be and frustrating at the same time. She and Budah are best friends. I LOVE IT. She has learned so much from him and has taught him a lot also. I feel so blessed to be her mommy and love her so much.

First day of Pre-School

Budah started preschool on September 8, 2009. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I didn't want to be one of those moms that is traumatized by their child starting school but deep down inside I was a little. It seems like I fell asleep and woke up with a 3 year old. Budah potty trained in a week. We told him that he had to be a big boy and potty in the toilet so he could go to school and the next thing we know he did it. We rewarded him with Spiderman stickers and it was done. We had tried for months before hand with no success then he decided it was time and the rest is history.
The morning of September 8 he woke up all excited for school. He kept telling Mikala he was going to go to school and that she could come with me to pick him up. The way he spoke of school was in such a grown up tone and it really threw me off. My baby boy went to sleep the night before as my baby boy and woke up my big boy. I know you know what I am talking about.
I didn't shed any tears after dropping him off even though when he said good-bye and walked away grown up it was like a dagger in my heart. I was so proud of him.
Mikala now sits in his car seat when he is at school. I think it is her way of showing that she is getting big also. So fun to watch but such a eye opener.
You two make me so happy and proud as a mom. I love you guys.
