So summer is quickly leaving and school is will be starting soon. We enrolled Tanner in preschool 2 days a week and I cant wait to see how he does! He is pretty excited and is really happy about getting his very own backpack. I remember when Tristen started pre-school and I was a mess. I think it may be the same with Tanner, I just cant believe he is ready to start school. He will love it and I think it will be so good for him to play with kids his own age. Poor baby is stuck right in the middle of games he doesnt get yet when he hangs with Tristen and baby games like peek a boo when he hangs with Cassidy. So this will let Tanner act the age he is. He is at a funny stage right now. He loves to make people laugh and he does a great job at it. He is very daring and fearless but very cautious too. He is sensitive but not as sensitive as Tristen. Tristen gets his feelings hurt quick and hates to see other people sad too. He is a huge competitor and gets so mad himself if he is not #1 in everything he does. THIS is from Thomas. I mean I love to win as much as the next person, but these two have to be the best at everything they do. Which brings me to the next chapter of my life................FOOTBALL. Let me start from the beginning. All year at school they passed out flyer's on a weekly basis about signing your kid up for football. Everyday I would go through Tristens backpack before we got home and search for these flyer's and destroy them before my husband would see them . Let me add that I always knew Trist would play football but because of how much they practice (m-f 2 hours a day) I wanted to wait as long as possible. Anyone that knows this family realizes I am locked into football for a very, very long time. So prolonging this was my only option. Then one sunny day at the park, our friend Nancy, who has a son in football and 2 daughters that cheer, said to Thomas "ohh are you going to the football meeting on Saturday?!" I almost peed my pants. All my hard work gone with 10 words. So Thomas goes to the meeting to sign him up and comes home with the news that he is head coach. I knew it. Here it goes. This is my new life. So practices start and both Tristen and Thomas are so excited. I took Tanner and Cassidy up to the practice in the 90 degree heat, I sat down on the grass and watched a moment I wont ever forget. I was there to see one of Thomas's dreams come true. He was coaching his son at football practice. I remembered what it felt like to watch Thomas coach when he was at Anderson and I got that silly feeling in your belly like when we first met. So fricken awesome. He really really loves it and he is so good at it and ohh my god Tristen loves it too. It is a big commitment for a 7 year old but I think he needs it too. My life as a football mom has now begun.
And my sweet Cassidy with her curly hair is getting so big and changing everyday. She has a crooked smile and is talking up a storm. She is determine to get her way and will scream in the highest pitch voice until she gets her way. This is something we are working on. But OMG she is just the cutest little thing ever. I love that when you have your first baby you cant even comprehend loving another as much as you love the first. Then the 2nd comes around and I was dumbfounded at how much I fell for Tanner, then that baby girl came and I cant imagine my heart has any more room to grow. I am just at awe of these kids. I mean our lives are turned around and busier than I could of ever thought and some days I wonder how we do it all. But around 10:00 at night as I sit in a quiet house that is full of my sleeping babies, I cant imagine my life any other way.
