So, I haven’t written in awhile because I have been busy spending time with my family while summer is still here.  While my husband has been on holidays, we have enjoyed going to the zoo, waterparks, and relaxing.

As we are approaching “back to school”, it is my first time around with school and kids.  My oldest daughter Natara, is starting school this year.  She is incredibly excited about going on a school bus and learning about numbers and letters.  However, she is very shy also, so I am a little concerned of how the transition will go.  But isn’t every parent a little anxious when their oldest child starts school?

Today I decided to take her shopping for some back to school clothes.  I was expecting to hear some major complaining.  But no…I guess its a sure sign she is growing up because she kept throwing clothes into the cart.  I didn’t think 4 year old girls were supposed to like going shopping.  And how she knew her correct size….I will never know.  She told me, “Its fun being grown up”.  Now I know my baby is ready for school, sniff!!!!

It was an exhausting and a very expensive affair.  She started complaining of a sore head as we were leaving the store.  I offered her Mc Donald’s for lunch, she said NO.  I guess that should have been my first clue that maybe she wasn’t feeling well.  I went through the Wendy’s drive thru for lunch, and she started screaming because I went past our turnoff for home.  She said “I want to nap first, then eat”.  Clue number 2 that she may not be feeling well.  Clue #3 came when she told me that “I don’t want to swim in the pool later.  I will just watch you and Talia”.  What???  My little fish???  What is going on?

We get home and she vomits all over the living room floor.   My poor baby.  Now I realize why everyone is in such a craze to get hardwood flooring.  Vomit is really not fun to take out of carpet.  Yuk!!!

Enjoy your babies, because before you know it…they are off to school.
