My Good Listener

Well, it is quite a dreary day in our area! J and I had to get out in it as it was a MOPS/MOPPETS day for us. I was a little concerned about how today would go since J was up at 7 a.m.(7:45-8:00 is normal wake-up time) and was still awake at 10:30 p.m. last night when I checked on him. Basically, he needs to take an earlier nap everyday to fix the problem! Regardless, everything went really well today. J still gets a little sad when we leave him places that he doesn't go consistently, and the past couple of months haven't been typical for us with the holidays/ear issues. So, I have found that sometimes, if I just have a quick mini conversation with J about what is getting ready to happen, everything goes much smoother. Today was one of those days when I needed to have a little pep talk (from breakfast until we walked in the church) with him about no crying when he sees his MOPPETS teacher, who actually loves him very much, and that I would be back to get him. I have to admit that I was very proud of him when he walked right in the room with NO TEARS! All of us moms report on the nursery situation when we arrive at our table in the meeting room and all was well with J-not unusual after the first few minutes. When I picked him up, his teacher said that he seemed so happy to see her throughout the morning. I didn't tell her about our pep talks! :)

It looks like Dave's jeep is here to stay...for now! We got the radiator repaired yesterday.
