My poor baby....

Today was Carter's second day at Mother's Day Out. After his day Tuesday, things could only get better. Right?? Wrong!! When I picked him up today, he had a cut on his nose. When I picked him up, three teachers were standing there waiting for me. I think that they were afraid I was going to be upset with them. They just kept apologizing to me. In the classroom, they have a foam mat that is for climbing. This is the same mat that he tripped on Tuesday. Today, he climbed to the top (which it is not big at all) and fell off. The teachers said otherwise he had a good day. He was happy, ate most of his lunch and took a nap without even crying. I don't know if my poor baby is going to survive Mother's Day Out. I know that accidents happen and he is a climber, but I am hoping that next Tuesday we will be able to avoid an injury. Keep your fingers crossed.

Carter goes to Mother's Day Out....

(Here is Carter on his first day of MDO with his backpack and nap mat)

On Tuesday, Carter started Mother's Day Out at Wesleyan Christian Academy (where Bryce attends preschool) on Tuesday and Thursdays from 9-2. Well, let's just say that his day was quite tramatic for a first day. When I dropped him off, he cried of course, which I was prepared for because even at home, he cries when I get out of sight. It is funny how different things are with the second child. With Bryce, I would have been in tears myself if I was leaving him and he was crying. With Carter, I just prepare myself and know that when I pick him up, he will be happy and having fun. Well, Tuesday, Carter did not have fun. The school called at around 11:00 and said that Carter tripped on a mat and bloodied his nose. They said that they got it to stop bleeding and he was ok, but they just wanted to let me know. Then at about 12:00, they called and said that he was throwing up and I had to come get him. He was fine after I picked him up, I just think that all of the drainage upset his stomach.

Happy Halloween....

Our family! Happy Halloween!

Trick-or-Treat!

When we were finished Trick-or-Treating, we went to Megan and Randy's to hand out candy. Carter decided to sit in the candy bowl!

Bryce loved handing out candy. He would say, "Happy Halloween", "Thank you for coming" and he told one little girl, "I love your pumpkin bag". He was so funny to watch and he loved giving out the candy to the kids. I hope that he continues to love to give.

Preschool fieldtrip to the pumpkin patch...

Bryce's preschool took a field trip to the pumpkin patch in Rowlett. We went on a hayride, had storytime, colored pumpkin pictures, they each got their own pumpkin and we had a picnic lunch. All of this was after they had a fall carnival at school that morning. The kids had a really good time. It was also good to have some Mommy and Bryce time.
