Butterflies & Mosquitoes?

I wasn’t nervous… no sir! Not me!

Ok may be a bit, but more on that in a bit…

Today marked another great milestone for our family! First of all, our little Baboo (aka, Brayden) learned how to drop things and laugh at me simultaneously. I mean, he would look at me, look at his toy at hand, look at me again and ever so slowly release his fist until the toy would come crashing down to earth.  For some reason, the impact and my subsequent reaction to it was a funny adventure; enough to encourage him to do it again and again.

On the other hand, my beautiful daughter started elementary school. Yup, she is in Grade 1. Going to school isn’t new as she’s been going to school since she was 3 years of age; however, I was a nervous wreck this morning; so much so that I had to make couple of trips to the bathroom. Never mind butterflies in my tummy, I had birds and bats, dragonflies and mosquitoes and everything else that flies. I even had couple of chickens flapping their wings in there.

Jokes aside, I couldn’t have been prouder than watching my little girl begin her journey through elementary school. If I’m lucky, she’ll continue loving the public school system.

Finally, my sister has started her post-secondary adventures. Somehow, she ended up with the family brains while my brother was blessed with the athletic genes. I, on the other hand, simply ended up with the good looks J

Ps. Half way through this entry, I had to put Isabella to bed. I had to explain to her what our schedule for tomorrow looks like. After a brief pause, she asked “why do adults enjoy making things hard. What’s wrong with simple plans?” Ain’t that the truth?
