Carson Got Air....

First of all Carson made it through his second day of preschool. He didn't get to go outside, because it was so hot outside. So they stayed in, and he got to eat a red Popsicle. Speaking of Hot they talk about Summer yesterday. He made it another day. So far it has worked out very well for him. They haven't told us anything different and his reports have been coming up very good.

Well, It's really, really, really Hot in Paragould AR. Lucky us!! Our house is run by Window Air!! I know little air is better than no air!! Well It's kinda of strange, when my Dad runs a Heat and Air Business. You would think he would offer to put in Central Heat and Air....But no offers yet!!! So we get to use Window Air. Well last year when the temp got up to 100 plus. We had to use one of my sister's window units for Carson Bedroom. Did you catch that!! My sister doesn't have Central Heat and Air either!! LOL!!! It's kinda humorous to us!!! Anyway so instead of borrowing hers again this year!! We decided to get a new one. So that's what we did. David went to Wal-Mart last night and fought through the crowd. And he got one. So what we decided, we put our little one that is in our bedroom and put the new one in ours. It's kinda bigger than what we had. So we put our old one in Carson's room and what was the first thing he did, play with the knobs. Typical three year old. So we took the knobs off, and put up high!! So now we have a Big One in our Kitchen and Living Room. New one in our Bedroom. and a small one in Carson's Room. We should not be hot in any part of the house now. We have Cold Air!!!

A New Beginning...

Ok, so I sound like a story book!! But that's what it feels like. It just feels like a new chapter of our lives. We have just started the summer on a very high note. The first day of Preschool was yesterday and everything went good. We started the morning by letting him watch Thomas the Train.We just took our time getting ready and reassure him that everything will be ok. Before we knew it, the clock said 6:50. So we put him in the car. As he sat in his car set, I look back and I knew that my little boy was becoming a big boy. This step of preschool confirmed that he was about to grow up very quickly before my eyes. I knew David wanted to come and be apart of his first day of preschool. It was just the three of us, headed to preschool. As we approach the school, the very first thing Carson saw was the big playground in the back. He wanted to go play, instead of going inside.We walk up to the door, walked inside and we found his room, signed him in and we talked with a few teacher's aid's. His teacher didn't get there till 7:30. So we just hung out until we meet her. Her name is Mrs. Denise, she seems nice. So as we where leaving, he gave us kisses and hugs. I couldn't help myself I started crying. Not that I was upset, but because I was happy for him. He seemed to be ok with everything. But he looked like a lost puppy, because he didn't know anybody yet.

So as we left, me and David went our separate way's going to work. He was glad he came. I went through the day looking at the clock thinking of what he might be doing. My babysitter even called and check on how he did. She is such a sweet person, I will never forget her. It was a busy day so the day went by fast. As the clock struck 4:00 I left to go picked him up and there he was inside his room, playing. He also help the aids pick up the toy's in his room. I'm so proud of him, he was so hot and tired. We made it!! We made our New Chapter of Life!!!

A Gift Idea for my Babysitter...

As I decided to give my babysitter a gift certificate to Eden spa this is what I came up with!!

I printed off the certificate online and took pink card stock. And just created something creative!!

Having to say goodbye...

Oh, what I have to do tomorrow is going to hurt. I have to say goodbye to a very, faithful, loving and dependable woman. She has been apart of my family for a total of three years. We have become very good friends. We have one thing in our lives that we have been sharing. That is my son. As I'm working on a gift for her, it truly has been a very difficult task. Because I want to give her the world for taking care of my son. She has been wonderful, trustworthy, and a very dependable.
When I was seven month's pregnant I started trying to figure out who to watch my unborn child. We looked at childcare facility's. Meet with them, talk with them, and just look around at the places. We finally pick one out, we signed up at a place called Kid's Corner. It was owned by some friends of my father. They where nice and willing to take in baby boy. But then things turned around when I was eight month's pregnant. We had our last ultrasound done, we found that Carson had major health problem's. So the option of finding a daycare place that would take in a child with health problems was coming to a close.
So I just waited and prayed about this situation that we where in. It was not an option of me staying home, because like many we needed the money. My mom was working. My sister was in college. The only other option would be a babysitter. So like an answered prayer, Kissa Gardener came into our lives. I had went to school with her and was going to church with my sister. She was pregnant and wanted to stay home with her daughter and her newborn. She didn't mind watching another baby.
She started watching Carson February 1,2005. So with an exception of a few months off with her giving birth. And Carson's Surgery's, Vacation's, and Holiday's. She has been our Babysitter for the past 3 year's. The reason for us to leave, is Carson needs to start Preschool. He is three now so I want him to be the best he can be. So I want this extra push on him. So he will be ready for School. So how can you tell someone, who has been such a big part of yours and your child's lives goodbye. Tomorrow will not be easy, but they will be tears of Joy and Happiness. I wouldn't take back any of those years. Because I feel like we have made friend's for life.

Very Proud Mother...

I am a very proud mother right now. Last night at church, we had several solo's at church. I got to sing a couple. My husband got to sing some. What I am so proud of is that, the church ask my son get up in front of everyone and sing some songs. So he walk up on the stage, grab the microphone, and then he started singing Jesus Loves Me. He was just as plan as he could be. He look so big and tall. After he got done with the first song. They asked him to sing Zacharias. So he started singing again. I was so proud of him. I believe he will be a very good singer. David and myself started singing about Carson's age. So it comes very natural for him to sing. I hope he will continue singing for the church. So now I have a preschooler that likes to sing in front of the church. My baby is growing up way to fast!!!

Don't Cry Outloud....

Well, First of all I had a wonderful Mother's Day. And just like I hope I got a mother's ring. It has mine, Davids, the month we got married, and last but not least Carson's birth stone. It is very pretty and it's just what I've been hinting around for four years now. My husband did a wonderful job on picking it out. So we went and surprised granny at church Sunday. You ought to have seen her face when she saw us at her church. I wish I got my camera out to take a picture of her look. It was fun and different. I told my mom it really didn't matter what we did, just as long as I was with my mom and my son for mother's day. So that's what happened. So it was a good 4th Mother's Day.

It's been kind of gloomy for me right now. I knew I had to do it, so last night I sat down and filled out the ten page registration for preschool for Carson. The more I read it and filled out the information the more, I realized that it will never be the same again. My three year old son is fixing to go to school!!! And he will be in school till he is 18 years old!!! WOW!!! What a thought!! That's a long time for my son to be in school.

I'm doing good. I'm not crying yet!!! I'm not upset yet!! We are going Friday and turn in the paperwork and let Carson see the inside of the school. Don't know how he will react to see the inside. He knows the outside has mostly toys and a playground. You know Fun Stuff!!! I don't think it will get to me until June 2. So I'm keeping all the feelings inside and some on the blog. It's just a big change for him and I hope it will all work out in the end. A new Adventure is awaiting us.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Well, it's my 4th Mother's day weekend. We don't have alot going on. Just a big get together with my family at my granny's church. We have never celebrated Mother's Day at anywhere else than our church. So this year my mother got with her brother's and sister's, and we are going to surprise granny. We are going to meet in the Piggott General Baptist Church in Piggott Ar. parking lot at 10:00 and all go in together. I 'm just excited to see my granny's face when about ten-twenty of us show up. I will let you know how it went. But as for me, I've been hinting around for a mother's ring. Maybe I will get one this year. Can't wait!!! So anyway for those that read my blog, I wish you a Wonderful, Blessed, and Happy Mother's Day!!!!
