blogger mom

What the heck am I doing blogging...it's so late and I'm tired. Riley's first day at school by himself went better than I expected. He was a little sad, and didn't participate very much, but he wasn't hysterical when I picked him up. Another little boy was, but not my Riley. The teachers said he asked often if I was back yet, but that they could tell he was trying so hard to be brave and not cry. He said he wants to go back to school. I cried, alot. I snuck out of the classroom without telling him goodbye. I thought it was the best option at the moment to keep him calm. Then I really regretted it because I told him that I would give him a hug and tell him goodbye at school. I felt like I tricked him. He brought it up while we were eating mac and cheese for lunch. He said, "mommy, you said you would give me a hug and tell me goodbye." I said, "I know Rye." He said, "You didn't." I then felt like the worst mom ever. I apologized and asked him to forgive me. He did.
Trey finally figured out the sippy cup. 4 oz. at dinner. May sound silly to those reading, but little things like that are big news around the Stetler house. My babies are getting big.
More big news in the Stetler house...Jen starts her new job tomorrow. She'll be at the Old Navy at the Lennox.
I really have to go to bed now. We managed to get caught up on a lot of things today, mainly because my wonderful husband spent the entire morning at home cleaning up the house. But, there is still much to finish up tomorrow before the weekend begins.
