Sam’s the “Special Kindergartner” at school this week. He’s been waiting on this since September – reverse-alphabetical order meant his turn was last. Being the Special K is a very important honor. He gets to be the line leader, turn off the lights, organize the lunch orders, and other exciting stuff.
This morning I got to visit his classroom, and listened to his classmates read their “I like Sam because…” papers. (My favorites included “he uses his heart,” “he sits with me at lunch” and “he is handsome.”) Then Sam told his class about a few family pictures he brought in, I read them a book (Lego Star Wars FTW), and we – most importantly – ate a snack.
This week has been complicated. Kate’s been sick, I’m leaving on a business trip this evening, and Mother’s Day was… well. It’s was Mother’s Day. There’s a blog post rolling around in my head on that one. But the complicated, complex thoughts and emotions that have been washing over me this week have also made me grateful for the simple things like spending an hour in Sam’s kindergarten class.
I’m so, so grateful to be able to take part in the simple things.
When I went to Morgan’s class for a similar event, I brought in some pictures of her as a baby. One was from the hospital. A little girl raised her hand and asked me where babies come from. Luckily the teacher jumped in and told her to ask her own mother later.
hahaha that is outstanding!
He is such a cutie! Emily, I would love it if you could talk more about your adrenal fatigue problem because I suspect I suffer from the same thing. What time of medicine/supplements does your doctor prescribe to help with this? When I meet with my doctor I want to be as educated as possible!
Hi Kelly. I’m currently on prescription hydrocortisone, which has helped me tremendously. I’m also on a few supplements including magnesium, vitamin d, and some other things. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have – feel free to email me at emily at momminitup.com!
Beautiful picture of Sam and fun morning for you both!
He is handsome. And the simple things are the best. Also, great minds think alike. UP
