As most of you know, Ciarrah started her 1st day of pre-k this morning. It went well when we woke up at 6am without any problems. She ate her breakfast of sausage, waffles and oj. She got her self dressed. Watched a little Blue's Clues, then we headed out the door for school. She was very excited to go to school.
We get to school and she is doing just fine. We walk down to the room and we put her stuff in her cubby and put her snack where it goes and her folder. Then I tell her, "Give mommy a hug, its time for mommy to go." Then all hell broke lose. She started crying and crying. She kept saying that I had to stay there. I tried to get her to come play with me with other kids, but that didn't work. Then she clings on to my leg, and then I was like oh no. Well I got her to let go and she just sat on the floor, not crying just pouting. So I told the teacher I was going to go. She could not see me leave.
As I was walking down the hall way, I felt tears fall. It was sad watching my baby girl cry because I had to leave her. I have left her at daycare numerous times and I have never cried, not even when she was a baby. I guess part of my emotions are because she wanted her daddy to be here this morning so bad, she saw other daddies in uniform and I think that is what made her even more sad.
Cooper and I have a great day. We went shopping got some clothes and then we went to the commissary for some groceries. We made it home just in time for him to nap for about 45 minutes before we had to leave. We left to get here, her school gets out at 245 and well let me tell you what this school has so many kids the parking lot was full. We have to walk up to the building show them id, before we can take our child. I really like this. I feel that at least I know my child is not going to leave with anyone they are not suppose to.
When we were leaving I asked her if she had a good day. She didn't answer me. As we got back to the car, daddy called. He wanted to talk to Ciarrah and ask about her day. Well she didn't want to talk about her day and then she didn't want to talk to her daddy. She always wants to talk to him, so that is when you know that something is bugging her. As the night drew on, she started talking more about her day. That she colored and ate snack. She took a nap and so on.
I think all in all, she had an okay day. She just has alot of emotions going on for my 4 year old. So we will see how tomorrow goes. She did go to bed tonight pretty easy so that is a plus. Cooper and Ciarrah have both been in bed since 8pm. That is a nice change, I finally have some peace and quiet and time for me to write my blog.
I also have updated the August picture album with more pics so check them out as well. Hope everyone has a great week and I hope we do too!!
We have been so busy this week. I can't believe that is already Wednesday night.
Ciarrah starts school at 730 Monday morning. We have been getting everything ready for her to start school. She is more than excited. We have been making doctor appointments and making sure they both are up to date on shots and all that fun stuff.
I on the other hand have been having some wonderful problems of my own. Last week I went into the walk-in clinic, at my doctors office for a migraine that I have had for days. They give me some medication and give me a referral for a neurologist. While they were performing there routine exam the doctor pushed on a part of my abdomen and it hurt so bad it brought tears to my eyes. It has been a little painful, but nothing that painful. So they have ordered an ultrasound for next week, but I am not understanding what they are looking for mostly because the pain was in the upper part of my abdomen, but they doctor is doing a pelvic ultrasound and I have to go to the women's clinic. I would have assumed that I would be going to a radiology department to have it done, but for some reason I am heading over to the women's clinic. So I am guessing that maybe this doctor thinks it has something to do with when my tubes were tied, but I have no idea. I am stuck wondering what the heck is going on. I hate waiting.
In the army we have to hurry up and wait and now I have to hurry up and wait. At least I get be seen at the civilian hospital by civilian doctors thank goodness!!
That is all that is really going on here. We are heading down to Austin on Saturday to see Brenna and family, and we are excited. Hope everyone has a great week.
...I am a bad blogger. We have been super busy the last few weeks.
We having been hanging alot with our neighbors. They are really great. We have been taking turns watching each others kids. Which is really nice to be able to do. Both sets of neighbors have kids about the same age as Ciarrah and Cooper. It really is nice. Although Cooper is the only boy. We have been doing alot of play times. We usually end up at their house, which is in the next house over. We just let the kids hang out and play and us girls talk. Nae Nae's husband is deployed, Nikki's husband is home, but they are getting out of the army in about 8 months. The kids really have fun together and that is all that matters.
Ciarrah is getting ready to go to school on the 24th of this month. She is pretty excited. We were put on a waiting list, cause we went to register a day late and they said that she might not get to go to school. But they called us last Thursday and she is going to school. We have meet the teacher night on the 20th. I am not sure how the first day of school is going to be. I am sure I will be a basket case lol. Down here the pre-K program is state-funded, so she will be going to school from 745 to 315, Monday thru Friday. I am excited and sad. My baby is getting so big. She will be 4 next month.
Cooper is getting to be a handful. He has found out that the stairs are fun to climb. I was in the bathroom one day and I couldnt find him anywhere low and behold he was on the 3rd step, standing there smiling at me. Now we have a babygate at the top, bottom and in the kitchen to get to the stairs. He is now walking with toys. I can see it soon he will be walking. He said da da for the first time yesterday, it almost made my cry. He also says ba ba and sssss. It is so cute. I wish Michael could see all this.
We are only 3 1/2 months from him coming home, and we are so excited. I am starting to get things ready for his homecoming. There is a website that does free banners to soliders families, so I am in the process of ordering one of those. It is going to hang on the house when he comes, with the help of the neighbors lol. My sis-law gave me a great idea for shirts for the kids. She told to me get white t-shirts and write welcome home daddy or something like that on them in paint, and then let them finger paint the rest of the shirt. I think that he will really love that. So that is my plan to do for shirts!! We are going to tie balloons to the kids the day he comes home, only because we will be at a field of about 300+ soliders coming home AND all of their families, so we want him to see us.
We are anticipating a move to Ft Riley, KS. This is not our first choice, but we would like him to stateside for a while so this is why we are heading there. We really wanted to be in Georgia, but he was told if he goes there he will be deploying right away again. I am not sure how I feel about this move. We will be 3 hours from our parents which will be nice. A nice short drive for everyone to visit, and that means that we can take the kids down for the weekend and have some alone time. Something that we would not have if we stay here or move farther away. So for many reasons this feels like the best choice for us. He is calling tomorrow or the next day to talk to Branch and get his orders switch with another guy who is leaving the army in May. This guys report date is March. So we will be in Texas 3 months before we have to move. I have been talking to women in all of the units that Michael could be placed in, and 2 of them are due to be home when we report and the other one is leaving this month. So if we do get to go there we know he will at least be home til Spring of 2011. Although Ft Riley doesnt deploy every year, they deploy about every 3 years, so that is what we are hoping for. That would be nice.
That is all that is really going on around here. We are doing well. Hoping to come down and see Brenna, Ed and Hunter soon.
Hope everyone has a great week!!
