"School"



here are some pics of the first day of mothers day out.  this was the best i could do:) i tried to get garrett to hold his backpack, but b/c paul wore it to demonstrate he says its "dadda's paapaa".  we have had a few tears, but overall i think he likes it.  it is great for me to have a few hours to do some chores (grocery, cleaning) and eventually maybe some fun things:) and , it's really good for garrett to get out of the house and play with some other kids.  i love to hear new things come out of his mouth....other than a few things he learns from my parents, most everything out of his mouth, until this point, is something i (or paul) taught him.  it's sweet to hear some (very broken) recount of his time there and try to piece together what they must have done.
he's very timid in new places and with new people.  i am so proud of him for being able to do this that you would have thought he got into Harvard:)  just the beginning....

He looks so cute...his new balance "squares" look so handsome:) I would love to see him hold his backpack...it's almost as big as he is! Yay for Garrett...he's going to love school! And yay for mama to have some time to recharge...when you're not cooking, cleaning, do laundry, running errands, and taking care of Lilah:)

Oh little Garrett, you are so big! I can't believe how you have grown in just 3 weeks. What is your Momma feeding you?! Glad you are having fun at school, Hud misses you...tell your Momma I miss her and love her :-)
