Momma's Boy

What can I say, my youngest is a big momma's boy. Which I love and enjoy, but today on his first day of preschool I was hoping he'd be ready for a little separation. When I woke him up this morning, the first thing he said was, "I don't want to go to preschool." And he continued saying that all the way to Miss Kim's.

Here's pictures of him crying on the kitchen floor before we left...so sad.

But as we pull into preschool, Bennett hops right out of the van and I'm thinking "YES! He's going to do it and have no problems." And he's still fine while I'm filling out the paperwork (standing right next to me though) so I'm still pretty hopeful. And Maddie was standing right next to him, staring and wanting to play and I know he thought about leaving my side, but was still a little unsure. Then I tell him goodbye and he says, "I'm scared" and starts crying. Miss Kim came over, took his hand and comforted him as I left.

When I picked him up after preschool he was so excited to show me the cool dinosaur book he checked out from the library and Miss Kim and Miss Diane said he only cried for probably 2 seconds after I left, which is was hoping for (thanks guys). I asked him what his favorite thing about preschool was and he said, "EATING!" Typical boy answer.

Bennett and Maddie hugged goodbye and I'm hoping next Tuesday will go even smoother!

Aren't they cute?

The Rubbles Trying to Keep up with the Jetsons

Betty (me) and Barney (Mick) have been just waiting for their 15 year old (27") t.v. with rabbit ear reception to die already so they could catch up to the 21st century. But it looked as if this was never going to happen. So, when the government sent out those wonderful stimulus checks, Betty and Barney decided it was time to keep up with the Jetsons and get a new t.v. with channels (lots of channels) . Betty insisted that they not be too practical this time with their money (like they always are) and enjoy it like they're supposed to.
And this is what they got and they LOVE it. They actually can tell who and what's on their screen now (they can even see moles, freckles, tears, etc.). They can even tell the score of a game. No more blurry or triple vision on this screen.

Their friend Wilma (Kim) was over awhile ago and told Betty that she couldn't figure out what Barney was watching on their old t.v. because the reception was THAT bad.

Their son Bam Bam (Davis) tells everyone he knows that his family has a big screen t.v. with a satellite. And most everyone he tells just says, "so" because most people are WAY ahead of the Rubbles. But they'll getting there...someday.
