firsts

My oldest child is experiencing a lot of firsts this past year .First big move,first bedroom all to himself, first day of kindergarten, first bus ride and first time being left on the bus ...Yes that happened, he never got off and it was scary . I actually chased after the bus all the way down the highway while wearing my 3 week old baby , called the police , stopped traffic , all so the bus driver would take him back to the school(no body is supermom but I felt like I ran super fast that day!). Then today my little man experienced his first taste of frozen flag pole....say what?? When he arrived home from school today we didn't get a chance to talk much, as we were rushed for his soccer game .I don't mean to brag but my son awesome, he's lucky to find something he excels in already being so young ! I love watching him score goals it turns me into one of those obnoxious out of control parents who are always screaming and cheering and I've always wanted to be one ! On the way home from the game I asked my son how his day went , he said "great , except I lost some skin on my tongue "...hold on , what? How ? What happened .."Well" he said "this boy said to stick my tongue to the pole , I did .But I had to pull it off it and I left some skin behind ". All I'm picturing at this point is a scene from Dumber and dumber .

Where was a teacher I asked .."oh she would not have let us do it" he said ...then my three year old who has no teacher, no class, and obviously doesn't go to school, starts talking about her day at "school". And that her "teacher" is good and wouldn't let her outside ...I don't believe you anymore says my son to his 3 year old sister ...keep talking and I'm going to throw this rubber band at you .....I can't stop laughing now as I was worried the end of his sentence was going to be worse ..I could think of some things a lot worse than a rubber band he had access to in the back seat ..Boots, water bottles . Regardless I'm relieved rubber band came out of his mouth ...."stop it" I said ..no one ever listens to me when I say that..I wonder if I say it such a tone like a dog whistle ...no one can hear it but the dogs??? Except in my case its reversed..everyone but the kids can hear me ??? Oh well it is the end of the day, my son has his tongue ..and I have them and together we will most definable have a lot of "firsts".
