Grayson and opy

Any of you who know Grayson, know that he cannot and will not willingly go anywhere without his blankie aka opy. We named it a woobie when Veda started carrying hers, why on earth this name, I have no idea, but it stuck and both children have one...or in Veda's case, two. Grayson obviously has his own name for it. I know some parents get annoyed with their children having to drag around a lovie. I happen to adore it. He has so much love for this little thing and he gets hysterical without it and will go into full blown panic if he cannot find it or if it is stuck in his crib. Its dirty, discolored from him sucking on each corner, and stinky... VERY stinky but what can I say, he loves it. I wash it...ALOT! Here is a pic I snapped one day after bath...

Preschool!!

Wowee the last 3.5 yrs has escaped from me fast. It's hard to believe that Veda is old enough to go to preschool. Today she took on that new adventure and she loved every second. She has been preparing for weeks. This morning was great. She leaped out of bed...ummm at 9:30 (good thing she is in the afternoon class) and pranced through the house singing "its my preschool day, its my preschool day, and IIIIIIIIII ammmm soooooooo EXCITED!! Then she ran up to me and said "Guess what mommy?, its my preschool day!" as if I didn't hear her shouting it all through the house as soon as she woke up! lol.

I think she asked me every 5 minutes if it was time to go...this made for a long morning! When the time finally came, she was smiling from ear to ear. She walked right through those doors with a smile and a whole lot of confidence. I am so proud of my little girl.
