Kindergarten, Lost Teeth, and Potty Training

Ever play the game Tri-bond? In this game, each team or person gets three words and has to figure out how they are related. For example, strawberry, platinum, and dirty...types of blonde. So what do the three words of the title have in common? Yes, they all relate to my kids, but even more than that they relate to milestones in their lives. They are all growing up!

Kindergarten: Nicolas started kindergarten today. He was overwhelmed, anxious, confused and had several down moments. He had some up moments, too. I will be so relieved when we can get him into an intervention unit. I know in my heart he needs so much more in terms of acclimation and assistance. He has a lot of adjusting to do. How did I do? I was sobbing on the way back to my car. Heck, I had started crying before I left the building. Leaving him there was so hard for me, not just him. I was overwhelmed, anxious and confused, too!

Lost teeth: Peter started losing teeth last year. His front two teeth came all the way in over the summer. Then, this week he lost both upper lateral incisors within 3 days. He has two great, big gaping holes next to his very large front teeth. It's cute in a goofy sort of way.

Potty Training: Girlie-girl has been wearing panties all day, every day for over a week now. She's been wearing them longer than that, but seems to really get it now. She even woke up this morning in a dry diaper. (We haven't tried panties through the night yet, but that's next.)

Where did my babies go?
