Tylenol and Motrin

We made it throuh two weeks of school and BAM. The Belle got sick! The May ran high fever all Monday night and into Tuesday. The Belle woke up yesterday morning without a complaint so off to school she went. And then, at 9:45 I got a phone call from school saying that she was in the office with a fever. Poor thing couldn't even hold her head up. We battled fever all day yesterday and then at the spike (around 103 degrees) she threw up. She woke up this morning with no fever and ready to play. Unfortunately, she can't go back to school until she is fever free for 24 hours so no school for her today. I hate it when the girls are sick. They were both just pitiful. But, now they are back to their normal selves. I also hate that The Belle had to miss school today but, it was nice not having to get everyone up and rushed out the door. Now, if husband and I can just steer clear of any sick germs that would be great!

We Did It

I feel like I should burst into the Dora "We Did It" song! What did we do you ask? We survived the first week of kindergarten. I tell ya what though; it just about killed me. I am so glad Monday is a holiday so I have an extra day to recover from pure exhaustion.

More importantly, The Belle loves school (I knew she would)! I am in total amazement with all she has learned this week. She has the most patient teacher I have ever seen. By Thursday night she was quoting Psalm 1 from memorization which is just the sweetest thing I have ever heard. She is also quickly making new friends. How cute is she and Miss Kaci in the picture! The highlight of the week for The Belle was that Kaci had a hot dog with pickles (it was actually relish; obviously The Belle has never had any) and ketchup for lunch.

I have to tell you the first few days of school were really rough on me. I cried driving out of the parking lot. Not because I didn't want to leave her but because she has grown up so fast. After the girls' and I dropped her off on Monday we went grocery shopping. That was a very strange experience with just 2 kids. I am so used to having all 3 with me. The May loved it though! She got to pick out all her favorite snacks and didn't have to compromise with The Belle. The May has adjusted really well this week with The Belle at school. She does ask throughout the day what The Belle is doing. The two of us read alot while The Lynn is napping. I think she is appreciating the one on one time we are having together. We will see how week 2 goes but until then soak in all the cuteness from the pictures!
