(Backup) So long tonsils and adenoids

Beau had his tonsils and adenoids out on May 12, 2017. It was a scary experience for us but it was needed. It took him about 12 days to recoop and recover 100%. It was difficult to keep food and drink in him and he got tired of taking medicine too. But we made it through and he is back to our old Beau but now has a nasal/squeaky voice. I've been told the voice will go back to normal, I look forward to that. 

The only thing he wanted after surgery was "my daddy". So that's what he got. 

 

(The nurse told him that if he ate two popsicles then he could go home-and that he did!)

The reason we decided to have the surgery done are below. He has never had strep or any other throat infection. 

-snoring when sleeping

-whistled when breathing

-always had puffy bags under his eyes from not sleeping well. 

-choked on food

-drooled

-mouth breather

-chugged drinks and then gasped for air 

     

 

     

Finally going home! (On daddy's lap!)

K2

Beau finished his k2 year happy! He had a lot of change this year but we stuck with it and he did great. He started the year with Mrs Joanne (teacher) and Miss Amanda (assistant) and Mrs. Lisa (assistant). But Miss Amanda left shortly after Christmas for a great job opportunity. This brought in a new assistant who was quickly moved along because she just didn't mesh with the class. The Mrs. Joanne left for another position which moved Mrs. Lisa into the teaching position for the remaining year and added Miss Savannah and Miss Lauren as assistants. He is a strong kiddo and ended up doing well with the change. And we've now started using Miss amanda as a babysitter! 

This year Beau also transitioned out of baby net services (speech and OT) and into greenville county schools services. After a long emotional meeting for momma, it was determined (IEP) he would receive 30 minutes of speech once a week. So from his birthday on Beau rode the big kid school bus from daycare to Simpsonville Elementary school on Thursday for speech with Mrs. Elaine. He seemed to love it and will begin again in August. 

Beau also made some great friends in his class and we are looking forward to having some of them in his class next year.

First day andlast day of k2. Where has my baby boy gone to!

2nd grade

Luke had a wonderful second grade year. He met lots of new and old friend (including his first "girlfriend" Ava Swarez) and had a teacher that was just perfect for him. He finished the year with As and Bs and we are very proud of him. He also picked up his reading score which makes this momma so proud. 

 

    

(Backup) Mothers Day 2017

My crew on Mother's Day this year. It gets harder and harder to get everyone together for a picture but I'm still thankful for this crew that was chosen for me. 

 

  

K5

Henry has had a wonderful year in kindergarten with his teachers Mrs. Williams and Mrs. McConaghy. I couldn't have asked for a better fit for my boy. He was happy to go to school everyday and was still happy at the end of each day, and that is what matters. We are looking forward to another great year next year in first grade. 

 

    

 

  

Night gown

Lola's first night gown. 😊 she's cute in anything but I've waited so long to see her in a night gown. It's the girly stuff, ya know. She's 13 months here.
