Joey started school yesterday. He was very nervous but he went right in and didn't look back. I am so proud of that kid! I bought him a Speed Racer car while he was at school and it was waiting for him on the seat of the car when I picked it up. Needless to say he was thrilled.
I have been having little panic attacks lately where Joey is concerned (not real breathing in a bag panic attacks - just little bouts of worrying).
We went to the beach on Tuesday night - Joey was playing in the crashing waves and I was almost freaking out - telling him to be careful - freaking out if a wave was too big. It was weird because I am usually more laid back with that stuff.
Then this morning, as we were waiting to go into the school - Joey said Hi to this little kid from his class - the kid (2nd grade mind you) had this HUGE earring in his ear - isn't 2nd grade young for that????
THEN....there was this little girl (no older then 4th grade) with a full face of makeup on - eye shadow, blush lipstick - little hussy. On the way home I just started freaking out "What if he ends up with the wrong crowd? What if he gets picked on?" On and on it went - very weird. I guess it is just a mom moment - one of a few thousand more I will have - but it freaked me out!!!
I took a picture of him yesterday but it didn't come out great - his shirt was white so the sun kept reflecting off it - I will try to post later.
Have a good one!
Oh and CONGRATS (and Happy Birthday) to Ally - She is having a GIRL!!!! Woo Hoo!!!! Keep up the good work!
Chas - good luck on your appointment next week - hopefully we will get some pics!
Lesley - need an update - getting worried about you!

Jenn, I know where your coming from and it sort of gets easier.. but I even have the emotional times remembering him as a baby and toddler and missing those days.. Weird sort of grieving in a way.
I worry about Ayden and the influence of other kids on him but sadly we can only hope and try and guide them towards the better crowd and hope that our postive influence has rubbed off on them..
As for me, I'm fine, just not online very often at all these days...
Take care and have a really nice weekend.
Luv Lesley
Jenn,
This is the beginning of the end! Joey is getting older and you will find all sorts of things that he does and encounters that will freak you out. I still get freaked out by my kids, and they are teenagers! The other night Kelly was playing with some friends and then she calle me to tell me she was lost in the neighborhood. It was getting dark and it didn't help that she told me someone was following her. Just get ready with the hair dye because the greys will be coming full throttle. LOL
I am so glad that Joey went to school for you. I think the worrying is normal for us all. I have finally updated my blog after 2 months if you wanna see my kiddo's
