Topic: Momma's Lover Dover
My sweet lover dover Cale started pre-k this year. I'm amazed at how fast time has gone. I'm also amazed at his willingness to go to school. The first day, he refused to eat breakfast or lunch. He kept insisting that it was time to go and that we'd be late. We live 2 minutes away, in heavy traffic, but try explaining that to him!!
The first day was more like a parent/child school day. Chris and I attended with him to learn the ins and outs of how things work. Did I mention that this school was the elementary school that I attended 2-6 grade? Yep!! Talk about weird being back. And everything is questionably smaller. . . .hmmmmmm. . . .Anyway, Chris snuck out the back with Pruitt towards the end and he missed the cutest thing of all: Cale made his first friend. This little boy also has a father a bit larger than most. . .his father is also a graduate of OU (BOOMER SOONER!) and they live on the street next to my mom and dad's street. Cale and "D" were talking so much that they didn't hear us tell them we were leaving. They were comparing shoes, backpacks, who was stronger (at which point I had to stop Cale from heaving classroom tables above his head), and they even shared stories. D's mom was happy that he'd found a friend and Cale's mom. . .well. . .she stood back and fought tears. I have to now let go of my control on my child. I've guarded him carefully since the moment he left my body and now, I'm letting out the strings a bit. Bitter sweet really. So here's a pic (or two) of Cale on his first day. You can see the true Cale in these pictures.
Secondly, it's also time to get ready for Halloween. I do this every year around this time. The costume search begins. Pruitt is smaller than Cale was on his second Halloween so I lack a costume for kisser, but I will share with you my conversation with Cale in regards to his costume choices:
Me ~ Well, Lover, what do you want to be for Halloween?
Cale ~ A switch.
Me ~ A "switch????"
Cale ~ Yep, you know, a switch that rides a broom?
I had nothing to say after that. I don't remember ever seeing a male witch. . .especially one that rides a broom and honestly. . .how hysterical is it to be called a "switch" instead?? Gotta love the kid.
