Growing

I know I say this ALL the time... I'm probably starting to sound like a broken record- but I am in AWE of how my kids are changing.  And how quickly!  I swear we just brought Kate home from the hospital... but we are only a few days away from Birthday No. 2 and I just can't put my head around it.  

Kate climbed up on our barstool the other day... and she just looked so big I had to take a picture.  Love that girl!

And speaking of big... Ty had to pack a lunch for school last week so that they (the Kindergartners) could practice a little bit for 1st grade.  1st grade.  That's old.  That's real school.  And Ty is sooo excited!  He was pretty excited about taking lunch to school too.  The Kinders had an option of purchasing school lunch, but their options were a PB&J, Mac&Cheese and Pizza... Not exactly Celiac friendly.  But I've made some phone calls since and it looks like we might be able to do hot lunch next year- but it's going to take some effort on my part to get the ball rolling for him.  I'm trying to decide if I trust the lunch-workers not to cross contaminate or mess up... I would HATE for Ty to be sick because of something he ate at school!

Anyway- back to lunch last week... I packed him a lunch.  A lunch that my sister thought was huge.  I was just so worried that he wouldn't get enough to eat!!  I just wanted to keep adding to his sack.  I finally ended on a sandwich, fruit, chips, cookies and a drink.  I packed it carefully with a napkin and put it in his bag.  It's all I can do and I don't feel like it's enough!

Turns out the little fart was too excited to be eating with all of his friends to eat too much anyway.  I think he said he ate the cookies, the drink and half his sandwich.  What a turkey.
