3 years ago today...

I was an hour into some pretty hard contractions induced by Pitocin. They were steady and strong, and I was feeling EVERY SINGLE ONE! Today was supposed to be Mac's birthday, but he came just after 3am tomorrow morning. I can't believe I am the Mother of a 3 year old.

Today was orientation for his new preschool, Sharing Tree. He'll be attending every Tuesday and Thursday from 9am-noon. He seemed pretty OK with everything today. We met his teacher, Mrs. Stovall, and she had him seated next to a little boy named Eli. How appropriate. There is an Elijah in his class too. I found out his name is Elijah Joseph, just like our little Eli.

After the orientation, we had to go out and buy a new bigboy backpack. Why is it they only have a few options for boys, and a million for girls? We could choose from SpongeBob (uh, no.), Cars and Spiderman. Of course Mac picked out SpongeBob. After I directed him to his 2 other choices, he proceeded to go to the other rack with the pink backpacks and said, "I want this one." Now, I am all about letting boys wear pink and play with dolls if they want, but I figured his Dad would not appreciate me bringing home a brand new, pink backpack for him to carry everyday to school. So I told him it was WAY TOO expensive, and he could choose from Spidey or Speed. We came home with Spidey, to my surprise. ( I just knew it was going to be Speed. What do I know?)

I'm blubbering!!!!

The pictures are great. Eli is growing fast, too. It seems like we have a few pictures of Mac that look just like that. As I was scrolling down, I thought the picture of Mac (bare ass) & Eli went with the caption "Mac at his new school". Glad to know he wore britches to school:)

Love to you all.

Aww! Happy Birthday, Mac!!! Love the videos and pics!

I think Eli and Cameron kind of resemble each other. Funny!

Love the bare bottom pic! ;) Mac seems so grown up in his video, and Eli is so close!

Happy birthday, Mac!
