Puppy Foster Parents

Brandon and I decided that we were playing puppy foster parents with Lola. Last week we put an ad in the paper for our little Maltese Lola Jayne. She is so precious and cute but my patience is thin enough as it is and adding potty training and remembering to put the puppy away every time I lay a child down for belly time, plus all the projects that I have going around my house I was ready to snap! Brandon likes me sane more than he liked the puppy so we decided it was best to wait on me having a puppy for a while and see if someone else could love her more while she needs it most. So, Saturday 22nd we had some people decide that Lola Jayne was the perfect dog for them! They adored her and absolutely thought her name was appropriate ;) so she will stay Lola and have a new family to love her. I am bittersweet because I loved her too - I just love my sanity more. Eventually I hope to have another little pooch running around. But, hopefully it will be when I have no kids at home during the day!

Meet the Teacher

We had Dylan's "Meet the Teacher" night last Thursday. I, of course had not had time to buy his school supplies yet and so I was behind :( But, it all turned out for the good! Dylan didn't want to leave our house because he had just gotten up from nap and Mum was there. So he was a bit grumpy which had me concerned. However, when we got there he was so excited - even through all the chaos and kids running everywhere! I was really proud of him while meeting his teacher - he made eye contact and introduced himself and then hugged her like she was his new best friend! She had a scavenger hunt page for us to do. All the kids had to find all the special places in the room and their name on their table and their hook for the backpacks and other special places in the room. Dylan found everything all on his own and then thanked the teacher nicely when he was rewarded with a bat pencil. Of course I had to sign up for things too, always ;) He stayed excited and is writing his alphabet as I'm typing and is so happy that he starts school tomorrow. We just pray that he is where he is supposed to be and that he will succeed both in academics and in his social skills. I'm so thrilled for him! I've thought he needed more than I was able to provide for a while now and I'm so thankful that I liked his teacher too! I think this year will be amazing for my little man. I know that I will be nervous for him tomorrow, but I'm trying to remember that I'm the only one that is nervous.
