Bittersweet Moments

Finally, I have a moment to blog about nothing. :~  We did our annual week long vacation at the lake. The weather wasn't the best and Wyatt got sick mid week and ended up taking him to a rural MD's office. The best thing with cloudy rainy weather, you don't come home with sun burns! Even though the weather was drab, we still had a blast!  The boys are growing up so fast...maybe too fast, for me anyway.  These last two weeks have had several bittersweet moments for this mommy!  Parker turned 7 while on vacation and got up on two skis and can now swim independently.  Wyatt, my 3.5 yr old, finally put the poop in the pot while on vacation and for the first time slept in super hero big boy pants last night!  My close friends and family know this has been a long journey for us, putting the poop in the pot!  We started potty training when he turned 2!  This past weekend Wyatt started swimming independently as well.  While all these wonderful accomplishments bring me much joy, they are also a little sad.  Parker will start second grade the first of August and Wyatt will start school then as well.  Wyatt has never been to school so I will be for the first time in 7 years without a child in the house!  Oh, don't worry, I'll still have my job, working from home of course.  I don't know if I will cry or do cartwheels when I come home from dropping them off at school.  I might realize that silence makes me sad.  Well, I guess I will continue to enjoy the last month of summer vacation with the boys, laughing and crying.  

Life, Lick It!
