kyren went to bed early on his actual birthday, as he was starting to get dave's cold from the weekend. so we ate the rest of his birthday cake from his party without him... not that he would have been able to have any. christian enjoyed it on his behalf.
the next morning, it was daddy's birthday, and we had a fabulous cinnamon swirl french toast breakfast, thanks to the 50 cent day-old cinnamon swirl bread we got at highland orchards on saturday (another post i have yet to write!). HIGHLY recommend that day-old shelf! while dipping his breakfast in a puddle of syrup, C announced, "i'm not going to cry today at school!" he was actually excited about going back! i never thought i'd see the day :). we all rushed to get out the door so we could drop him off "to-geh-wer". he only started to panic a little bit when it was time to say goodbye. he gave us each a hug and i kissed his hand as the teacher swept him in the room and shut the door. i could see the anxiety on his face, as he fought the tears, and it only ripped my heart out for a second this time. i knew he would be fine. and that was a wonderful feeling. when we came back to pick him up, he cried again, but the reviews from both he and the teachers were wonderful. i think we've overcome!! thank you, Lord!
since dave got to take off for his bday we spent the day just relaxing and talking and hanging out together. went out for coffee, sat in the sunshine, went to see Inception while gramsy watched the boys (yes, it was phenomenal), and then out to a fancy dinner at gilmore's in wc, while gia watched k, and c spent the night at gramsy/poppy's. he got to ride in the aerial lift and mow the lawn. no separation issues there! it was SO nice to get away together for the day. and yet it felt like we'd been away from the boys for sooo long.
k had his 1 year well visit early this a.m., so i still haven't seen C. and i miss him so much. i just can't imagine being separated from him for more than a day. talk about anxiety! any movie plot that has anything to do with that kind of thing is really hard for me to watch these days. i can't even read the news. it's incredible what becoming a mother does to you.
poor baby kooey got 4 vaccines this morning (i am still so unnerved by all of that stuff), and i'm hoping and praying he doesn't get too sick from them. i hate that. :(
i guess i'll get to the dishes eventually... oh and the laundry and the vacuuming, and the bathroom, and the trash. . .
