Today was Ella's first day of VPK. She will be going to preschool Monday through Friday from 8:10 to 11:10. She has been very excited about school and even woke up early this morning to go. However, afterward it was like pulling teeth to get her to tell me about her day. During their playground time Ella fell and hurt her leg in 3 spots and her arm in 2 , so that put a huge damper on the day for her. Of course I cried when I got in the car this morning after dropping her off and Bradley sat in the back seat saying "Ella". he must have said it a million times in the 3 hour span. We went to the YMCA and it was Bradley's first time to be at daycare without her. They said he walked around saying her name the whole 45 minutes. However, he did well and went in without crying. Anyway, when we picked Ella up from school she said, "Did you cry when you left me?". I told her I did and she said, "I cried too because I wanted you when I got hurt and you weren't here." Ughh! That made me feel so bad. Ella didn't seem as excited as I expected her to be afterward, but I think she was distracted by the playground accident...we'll see what she says after this week when she has had some time to adjust.
Bradley had his adenoids removed 1.5 weeks ago and got tubes in his ears. Hopefully this will help the little guy from all fo those ear infections and asthma attacks, but we'll see. He is currently semi-potty training. I say semi because it is very difficult for me to keep up with my part of it with the arrival of Jameson. I think I could have him potty trained quickly, but I can't always get to him to take him when I need to. Besides, when the little man has to poop it literally takes 25 minutes and that is difficult to accomodate. The other day I heard water running in the kitchen and thought something started leaking, when I looked around I found Bradley standing over the dog's water bowl urinating in it. Who knows how many times he has done that before. I bet the dogs are really feeling lucky since they have moved to the end of the priority list behind 3 children and even have to drink pee water. Bradley had recently learned to ride his bike almost completelt by himself, so it is one of his favorite things to do right now!
Jameson is doing well. He is about 10 pounds now and is very long. He will be 7 weeks on Thursday. He will sleep anywhere from 4 to 7 hours at a time for his first stretch at night. He's a good little boy, but he does like to be held a lot when he is awake. I guess he is already starting to battle for attention!!! He has heard how loud Ella and Bradley are and knows he must work his way into the commotion somehow!
