The big day

THE DAY BEFORE THE BIG DAY:

What started with cupcakes.

Ended with a quick trip to Urgent Care:
which lasted for 2 hours.
Ayden has bronchitis.

But we still celebrated the big day to come with late night cupcakes.

We talked about going into 2nd grade, and Brandon tried on all his clothes to find the best outfit.

THE BIG DAY:

Oatmeal, toast & water.

Then off to school.

He was so excited!

I was really sad.

My boy is growing up way too fast.

I can't wait to hear all the details of his big day!

Get Ready

Tomorrow Brandon starts 2nd grade!

I can't believe it.

Today he is at Disneyland with his best friend for some last day of summer fun.

Tonight I have a special dinner planned for him.
and chocolate cupcakes.

But it's a surprise.

Shhshh - Don't tell.

I hope he won't be too tired.

But really, is anyone ever too tired for a cupcake?

I made the duo their very own library bags for our visits to the library.
We might not live in the most beautiful of towns, but we have a great library.
And they love it.

Taking them to the library reminds me so much of when I was lil' and my grandma would take me and my sister to the Covina library.

At 7, I was slightly obsessed with the Elephant Man.

Don't ask me why?

And I'm sure the librarian thought I was slightly peculiar.
And I was probably the only one to actually check out those books...

It's fun to share these memories with them now minus the Elephant Man.

I let them pick 3 books each (although I always keep a index card in my wallet of children's books I really think we should read...so I might sway their decision just a tad).

But in the end we can home with:
Ugly Fish
Scary House
No David (in Spanish)
Sharks
Monster Party

They like what they like.
And there's nothing better than that.
