Fly on the Wall

While volunteering for Multicultural Day, I had a few chances to sneak a glimpse of Cash. I use the word "sneak" literally because if he saw me, there would be no more school and he would be leaving with me. Once, I saw him on his way to music class. He is the one that looks like Linus at the end of the line holding his blanket and Ms. Brandy's hand. Next, I spied on him in music class. (Please excuse the window picture. It's the best I could do without opening the door.) If you look closely, you can see the poor baby is just sitting on the floor with his blankie while all the other kids are up dancing. :( Later in the day, I was happy to see him laughing with Ms. Melissa on the way to the playground. Phew, Cash does smile at school!

All Grown Up

We reached another milestone in the Bartels house. Brady went to his first party for a friend at school where he was to be dropped off and picked up after the party. Gasp! I know this sounds silly but it was a big moment for me. I was actually very apprehensive but Brady was so pumped to go to his friend's Cade's house that I didn't want to let him down. He did sweetly ask though when I dropped him off, "You are coming back to get me, right, Mommy?" Awe, sweet boy, I had to hold my tears back.
