When school begins


With Ethan beginning Kindergarten next week, I've been getting nervous about what to do with Ella all day. Ethan will be gone between 8:30 and 4:00 every day. Ella loves Ethan so much and constantly wants to be doing whatever he is doing. I am so glad that he is here to entertain her when I have things to get done. Today we went to Burger King for them to play and it hit me that I only have a week left until I am on my own! I don't know if I'm ready for this. Ethan is ready for more stimulation (he is so BORED), but selfishly, I need him here to play with Ella! Today, as I am working on things for the dental clinic, Ethan came over and said, "Mom, you are going to be so proud of this..." then he went on to tell me that Ella was falling asleep, so he carried her into her bed and put the blankets over her so she could take her nap!! Wow! I'm not sure he can leave me here alone! He's my little helper boy.
I saw this tractor on the way home from Burger King and had to take a picture of it.

I am super excited and a little worried about school starting next week. On one hand, the kids are so BORED and ready to go back to school- and they are AT EACH OTHERS throats because they are so sick of each other! A small part of me worries about Lillian being lonely - - we will see how it goes!

Ethan is such a good big brother! They are so cute together.

Oh how I love your photos, Natalie. If you lived closer I would have you take my pictures all the time so I could look like a MOVIE STAR!!!

Your little Ethan is so precious. That story if him putting Ella to sleep is so heart warming.
