So you are all grown up now? what do I do.
Amazing things have happened at my house these past few days.
first of all the last post concerning Jack and his ISM's, well they are what they are and he is doing so exceptionally well lately. Took him to his cousins birthday party last weekend and he had a great time. He chatted with some people and really had fun.
His tball is going very very well. He is having fun and following directions. Good Job Jackie BOY!
He was visiting his friend Michael up the street the other day after school. He had had such an awesome day that I told him he was ready for a big boy reward at the end of his play date. He was allowed to walk home "alone" from Michael's house-just like big boys do.
Remind you that Michael lives three doors up the street and both his mother and I watched Jack walk the three doorbells to reach ours. He marched down river street smiling a huge smile, carrying his ds bag under his arm. I maintained eye contact with him the entire time and he was so puffed with pride with his new priviledge. He bounced and walked and then got to the other side of the street from where I stood. I reminded him to look left and right-(because we all know where jack looks when you ask him to look up and down...) He checked the street and it was clear to cross. He walked across the street with the hugest smile and bounding pride. He ran to me and jumped in my arms. "are you sooo proud of me Mommy!? Just so proud of me?"
"Oh Jack today is a very proud day for me, I love you so very much."
My Allie received a job offer today, and she accepted. It is int he ICu unit that she wanted towork in. She has dreamed of working on this unit for a long time. Exactly 5 and a half years. Why? Because this is the unit, floor, hospital, my Father died in. She is working alongside the nurse that was there the day we ended his life support. She will now be "THAT" nurse to another family. She is very happy and proud of herself. She will be speaking at the graduation ceremony in May. A speech that she writes in front of hundreds of people. I will be speechless as she does her thing.
I will tell her "Oh Allie today is a very proud day for me, I love you so very much."
My Missi and I talked about hte new and exciting things that are coming to Allie in the next few months. Anew job, lots of money, a new car and then the inevitable moving out. I asked her how she felt about it. She was quiet for a bit and then said.. "I'll be ok."
"Yeah Missi you will be ok when your sister moves out, feeling alright about it?"
I'll be fine dont worry. I'll be ok too Mom, I promise.
Oh I know for sure you will be ok my bitty bean, you are beautiful, smart, kind beyond words and a true spirit of the ages. I am never ever worried about you being ok.
"I am so proud of you everyday Bitty, I love you so very very much."
So my family is growing up and soon to be out. New jobs, new schools, first grade before you know it.
What does that mean to Mamabear? I have so much to look forward to! A college graduation and a graduation from Kindergarten all in the same week for me! Go ahead try and beat that one!!!
I am lying here in bed with the big guy, he is reading I am typing away and for tonight I dont want to sell him to the circus. For tonight I will keep him around for another day. We just heard the 11pm train and I thought "Its late tonight/." He said "Its late tonight."
Geez, cut it out.
Night all Love to everyone and if you are reading along feel free to comment, I do like you.
