I have three in school this year, and one at home. The best quotes of the school year so far come from Rose.
"Mom, I thought I would HATE school, but I LOVE it!"
"Mom, I thought I would know NOTHING when I started school, but I know LOTS of things."
"Ellen thought I was going to get lots of color changes, but I haven't gotten a SINGLE ONE!"
R: "That's the boy I'm going to marry." M: "How do you know? Did you talk to him? Did he talk to you?" R: "No, but he looked at me the whole time we were having nap time. I'm going to marry him."
Elijah's visit to the cardiologist last week was exciting. His O2 was 98%!!!!!!!! The echo showed no leaking whatsoever, and the cardiologist said that Elijah is an example of a perfect Fontan. We are so grateful for our amazingly skilled pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon, Dr. Eric Mendeloff.
On the home front, Elijah has been reluctant to go to our co-op preschool without me, to his primary class on Sunday, and to even go on errands with me. His idea of a perfect day is staying home playing games with Mommy all day long. To his supreme disappointment and in spite of his vocal protests, this does not happen often.
Before the official start of fall and after the beginning of school, we have taken in a concert and fireworks at the new McLane stadium at Baylor and gotten caught in a downpour on our way to a football game in the same stadium. We fill our days with school, work, church, biking, piano, swimming, reading, playing, lying in a hammock in the back yard, tidying up, spending time with friends, and looking forward to more fun and time together as the season progresses.
