Quick post/update....
It's been a whirlwind of a month around here. Lot's of ups & downs it seems like- which makes me really want the month of April to be over with - bring on MAY! But our most recent news is that Ty has pneumonia. He started getting a deep "barking" cough last week - I actually thought it was a slight case of the croup. So, I treated it as such - steamy showers, followed up by cool outside air, then humidifier in the bedroom (just the basic stuff). Well, after getting worse over the weekend, we ended up at CMH today with the news of pneumonia AND a left ear infection. We were given an antibiotic and sent home with instructions of rest, water, and lots of TLC. Apparently his left ear tube is about ready to fall out - hence, it's not really doing the job anymore. We spoke to Ty's ENT about 3 weeks ago, and he said that it isn't unusual for children to have to get a second set of tubes. Well, looks like we may be heading down that road at some point!
Bobby and I both started to not feel well yesterday too - but as you know, the show must go on for us. But we are definitely making Ty slow down so we don't end up admitted into the hospital.
I will get some new pics on this blog soon. Hope this warm weather this week will help get the "sickies" out of the air so we all start feeling better!

Here it is Nathan!

Nathan drove over an hour away to have me do his Senior pictures! I always think it's such an honor when someone is willing to drive that far to have me photograph them! So for that, thank you Nathan (and Mom)! He was so much fun to work with....a great personality, polite, and willing to do whatever! Thank you again! Sunday, March 15, 2009

My Bitter-Sweet Day
Well, I apologize ahead of time if I sound "whiney" or pathetic! Today, my little Ty started Pre-School. I know, I know....I should be rejoicing! Well, I am to some extent. But for those of you who know our family - I have been so blessed to be able to stay home with Ty ever since he was born. So as I sit in this quiet room typing this blog with misty eyes - I realize my little Ty isn't so little anymore.
Ok....I know millions and millions of children go to pre-school. And I know that probably every parent goes through some anxiety on their child's first day of school. But (sigh), for as much as I want my little one to grow up - I don't want my little one to grow up.
We got a call last week from the church he is attending Pre-School at. They said they had an opening because another child in the class was moving. Ty was next on the waiting list. If you don't know about Liberty's waiting list for pre-school - oh, my -it's crazy! We have been on the waiting list for over a year! So we quickly snatched up the opportunity for Ty to go to a wonderful school! I have been a mess ever since we got the call. But Ty has been so excited!!!
So off to school we go today. We pulled into the parking lot and I said to Ty...
"Look Ty, here is your school!"
And he responded, "Is it heaven?"
The reason he asked this is because the Pre-school is at a church - where we learn about Jesus (who is in heaven). Which prompted Ty to think that his school was heaven! Oh my!!!
Well, we walked inside and thank GOODNESS we saw a friend of ours Lonnie (someone Bobby works with at the PD) dropping off his little boy! He totally took my mind off of the fact as to what was happening! Ty did great....walked right in the classroom and started playing on the floor with a couple other kids. He has two teachers and they are super sweet! They have a "Question of the Day" in the classroom....and today's question was..."Have you met the new student in our room?" That made me feel AWESOME! I knew at that point, the other children in the class would each have the opportunity to meet Ty and make him feel welcome.
As I walked out of the class....I felt pretty good. I ran into a good friend of mine Jennifer who totally knew I have been a mess about this. She gave me a hug and asked how I was doing. Surprisingly, I did ok..........UNTIL..........we drove out of the parking lot.
I cried.
I needed to.
But as Ty told me last night before bedtime....."it will be ok mommy."
He is right........... It will be ok................
