Amazes Me

I know over the years I have praised things Nico has done, and everyone knows he is the best kid ever but once again he does something that makes me a Proud Mommy!

Daddy took him to see his Doctor and when they were done he asked about the suckers behind the window as they were checking out.  The nurse said he could have one and he asked for the green one please.

As they were leaving Nico says to Daddy, " I really wanted the red one but I didn't want to make her dig for it and the green was on top so I asked for the green one."

It's those moments when Nico does something like that, that I realize I guess we are doing something right.

Until my next "proud Mommy" moment....

Proud Mommy Moment!!!



Nico received his end of the year Pre-School Report Card and all categories were marked Good!!!  The only thing he needs to work on is tying his shoes, and if anyone wants to volunteer to do that I might even pay..ha! 

It's great to see how he has progressed and continues too.  I am hoping he is ready for Kindergarten which is in 3 months......who can believe that????  I mean 90 days people.....totally freaking me out!

Let's just hope Mommy is ready?!?!?!

Until our next "proud Mommy" adventure......

Weekend Trip
Columbus, OH



Columbus Zoo Entrance

Look Nico's almost as big as a Polar Bear!!!

Feeding the Birds

Olentangy Caverns..the Long walk down

It's hard to believe people lived down here.

Look at me Mommy I am underground!!
It was a great weekend with my two favorite boys at the Columbus Zoo and Olentangy Caverns in Columbus.  Although our room was a challenge, we had a great time!  The caverns were a little intimidating to me as the steps were VERY steep but it was cool to hear the history of the Indians who once lived in them. 

Weekend trips like these are something that I love and spending time with the two people I love more than anything is this world....words can't even express how much it means to me.  As I have learned don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy every minute because one day you might not be here to enjoy it.

Until our next "weekend" adventure.....

Happy Mother's Day





 
I am such a lucky Mommy!  Nico and Daddy made me a special card that Nico wrote most of the words with Daddy's help ( add excitement here) and Nico picked out two beautiful flowers to put in my pot on our front porch.  Plus today when I dropped him off at school this was in his mailbox!!  I almost cried when I saw this poem:

Someday I will be big
And gone upon my way
But here's my little hand-print
To remind
You of this day
XOXO

Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful Mother's in my life!

Until our next "mommy's too emotional" adventure......
