THE. Carpool. Mom.

Life has been crazy lately (hence no recent posts).  Everyone is back in to the swing of school.  Chase is back going to his Pre-K elementary school class Monday - Friday mornings 8am to noon.  I pick him up between 11:30-12 and come home, feed him lunch, then back in the car to go to BCA from 1:00-4:00pm Monday through Thursday.  It's a long day for him, but he LOVES it and is doing SO WELL in both places.

Miles is still going to BCA as a peer model Monday and Wednesday mornings from 8:30-11:30am.  So on those days, after I drop Chase off, I head to BCA to drop Miles off, go run errands or go home for a couple of hours, then get back out to pick Miles up at 11:30, then go straight to pick Chase up from Pre-K, go BACK home to re-pack snacks, lunch boxes, do lunch, etc... then at 12:40 leave the house again to take Chase to BCA.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays now, Miles has started a Mother's Day Out program from 9:00am-2:30pm.  So on those days I drop Chase off at Pre-K, come back home for an hour, take Miles at 9:00am, pick up Chase at noon, do that whole deal, come back home for another hour and half (or errands, or whatever), pick Miles up at 2:30pm, and then Chase gets picked up again at 4:00pm.

I am THE. Carpool. Mom! :)

But the boys LOVE it.  Miles is loving both places and learning SOOOO much from each of them.

Chase is thriving at Brown right now, saying so many new words lately I can't keep count. He is talking up a storm in his Pre-K class now too.  Not full sentences yet, just words, but it still a miracle.  This has been our number one prayer from day 1...for Chase to talk.  I feel like we are finally on that road and seeing a light we weren't sure we would ever see.

It has been a great first start to the school year.  Of course 2 days in to school starting, both boys came down with runny noses and coughs, but nothing (so far) like we dealt with last year (fingers crossed and prayers being said it doesn't get that bad this year).

All in all, we have high hopes that this year will be a great one for both boys...we seem to be off to a great start either way! :)  Thank you to all the people out there cheering us on, praying for us, and sending us words of encouragement.  They each mean so much to us and we couldn't do this without you all! xoxo

Chase's 1st day of Pre-K!

Miles's 1st day of MDO!
