Not only was Monday the first day back to school, but it was also the first day back to tennis for the PCP and the first day of tennis ever for the baby.
Now, the PCP has been playing for two years and he really shows an aptitude for the sport. I’ll be the first to admit that I know positively nothing of the game (aside from a darling outfit when I see one) but even I can see that he’s really quite good at it! So, today was old hat for the PCP.
But the baby…oh, that sweet, precious, excited baby…
… today was his first extracurricular activity. EVER. He’s sat patiently on the sidelines all three and a half years of his life, happily cheering on his big brother and never once asking for a turn himself. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen him happier or smile bigger than he did as he ran onto the courts. He was approved for the 4-5 year old group and was just positively outstanding! I seriously thought I’d just burst with joy watching him have the time of his life out there.
We’re ALL looking forward to next week. I mean, it’s not often that their engagements involve a covered viewing veranda with ice cold water and multiple ceiling fans…as the mom of boys I’ve already learned to relish the little things.

Shark Week Spaghetti
As all moms of boys (and I’m talking about all of ‘em – age 6 to 96) are likely aware, it’s the most fascinatingly gory time of the year on the Discovery Channel – the 25th anniversary of SHARK WEEK. My littles have been tuned in night after night, bite after bite and are soaking… Read More
I Wish, I Wish
At Meet & Greet, Mrs. B had an “I Wish, I Wish” list with stars denoting items she’d love to have for her classroom. I picked one of the stars with five watercolors (she had enough for the whole class on her list) and the PCP was delighted to deliver this to his brand new… Read More
Good Luck Smartie Pants {Free Printable}
The PCP trotted off to his first day in first grade with this sweet sentiment tucked into his lunch box… It’s a reprise of the same treat he found in his box on the first day of Kindergarten. He asked me for smarties in his lunch at least one hundred more times throughout the one… Read More
First Place First Grader
I could hardly wait for the PCP to get off the big yellow bus and tell me all about his day. And, seeing as he’s a man of few words (like his Daddy), his recap took all of about 2.5 seconds before diving into his “First Place First Grader” special snack. After a gigantic hug… Read More
First Day of First Grade
Well, he’s all settled in to his new class and I feel like I left a little piece of my heart at the school up the street. *sigh* He woke up around four in the morning and crawled into bed right between us. I couldn’t really sleep after that – just snuggling my sweet first… Read More
