Verdict: Awesome

That is the exact word used by both Charlotte and Claire when I asked them about the first day of school. I'm relieved and really happy for them.

The day with Gabe was interesting. We did everything together, as you can imagine, and it caused him to be UBER cuddly. Naturally, I loved it. And I thought, "Is this going to last? Is he gonna be sick of me tomorrow? Am I gonna be sick of throwing this ball and online coloring and making pillow houses?" Um, yes to that last one. I will be sick of it. I'm interested in seeing what the days are like once we settle into it. Still, he laid his head on my shoulder the entire time I pushed him around in the Walmart cart. Nothing beats that.

Now, if I can only do it again tomorrow.

Very cool - I wish I had been as good a mother as you are.

Wow, I want to trade Hannah for Gabe! Hannah had quite a few melt downs wanting "her boys" even though I was trying to play with her. I guess they are just better than me in her eyes.

I'm glad the girls had such a great start to the school year. And hooray for a cuddly little Gabe! Good luck today (since it's now Tuesday morning).

My response to all y'all's days? Awesome! So glad the girls had a good time at school--that makes such a difference. And Gabe--he loves his mama.
