Beau's 1st day of preschool.

Well, we did it, we took Beau to his first day of preschool. I never thought this day would come, but boy did it come fast :( I can still remember holding him when he was tiny and thinking to myself, "There's NO WAY I'm sending my precious baby to school in the care of another person!" On the other hand, I did have a bout of postpartum depression, which would explain a lot of the weird thinking I had when he was little. Oh boy, I was a nut!
But, Beau did great - in fact, he was pretty determined to let me know that I was not staying with him. Mommy did good, as well. No tears or any anxiety...whew. Daddy, well he's another story. There were no tears from him, but he was on the verge.
Beau said he had a great day, made some new friends, and is excited to go back. What more can a mommy ask for?
It's so neat that C.F. and I get to experience all these new stages in his life with him. What a privilege. He's such a blessing.
I remember when we were first married, and the conversations we would have about our children. We would try to imagine what they were gonna look like, their little personalities, likes and dislikes. Never could I have imagined that it was gonna be this good.
That's how good God is!!! He pours his goodness into our lives, and he will use our children to demonstrate that goodness. I praise God that I know him as a good God. Not some religious, stingy, mean God. The church has done an awful job getting that message out. He is so good.
That all being said, knowing how good He is, helps me to show His goodness to Beau and Lucy. If there's one thing they'll grow up knowing, it's that God is good...all the time!!

A rare moment

Look, they love each other!!

Bless Beau's heart, he can be so sweet to Lucy and sometimes she will strongly resist his kindness. She may be a little like me and has her personal space issues.
But lately I've seen a little turn in her, she's becoming much more affectionate with him.
It's very sweet.
Now, when she's told, "No-No", she runs to him for comfort.. too cute.
Here they are cuddling up with each other :) A rare moment indeed, but hoping that will change.

Eatin' all the corn

Lucy's new favorite veggie is corn on the cob. We practically have to hide it from her because that's all she wants to eat. She is a great eater, though. Eats all her veggies and her fruits very well.
Rigley (her cousin) was at Mimi's house a few weeks ago, and his mommy gave him some corn on the cob - he loved it.
Plus, it kept them entertained long enough so the mommies could take a few bites themselves.
