Happy faces

Lilly must've known I was exhausted last night. I'm pretty sure she skipped her usual 4-4:30 feeding! Otherwise...  I slept through it! (One of the perks to co-sleeping!)

I went into Shawn's room this morning to wake him up for gymnastics, and I was greeted by a smiling boy. We're off to a good start.

Bill and I set up carpooling arrangements for our crazy Wednesday activities. He drives Shawn and Abby to gymnastics and Music class. Then I relieve him during Open Gym and bring the kids home after School Skills. When it was time to go to Abby's house so they could leave on time, I asked Shawn if he wanted to walk over by himself. He got very excited and you could tell he was proud to be independent - even if it is only a matter of walking a few hundred feet. He gave me enormous hugs and kisses goodbye, grabbed his water and lunchbox, and headed out the door. He stopped at the end of the garage to look back and tell me, "I love you, Mom! I'll see you later at Gymboree!" 

THAT's my boy.

(I don't know the child who was here yesterday, but I'm glad he's moved on.)
