So July is upon us. That means that in roughly 2 months my baby boy is going to be starting the 3rd grade. It’s just so hard for me to absorb. It seems like only yesterday I was walking him to his kindergarten class for the first time. He was so nervous and excited at the same time. I cried, of course, but he didn’t. He was perfectly fine. I’ve always been a baby when it comes to stuff like that. I remember when I first went back to work after he was born. He was 4 months old, and for the first few weeks it was so difficult to leave him at the sitter’s house every morning. I had the worst time of it. It got a little easier, but still even when I take him to my mom’s or I drop him off somewhere, or when he gets out of the car to get on the school bus, I feel this little twinge of something inside me. I don’t even really know what it is.

I haven’t anything really interesting to update here right now, because my days have been pretty boring except for the bipolar-ness that I’ve been dealing with. I hope that it passes soon.

Earlier I dropped Eric off at the local community center for a field trip I signed him up for. I guess it’s a field trip. It’s basically an all day thing where the kids go to a petting zoo, a scavenger hunt, then to play mini golf. He’s never played mini golf before. I’m sure he’ll tell me all about it when I pick him up this afternoon though. It only cost $20.00 for the day and they provide the children with lunch and a snack, so it’s really not a bad deal. I figured it was something he would like to do. In July he has the mini gourmet children’s cooking classes and the mad scientist labs at the community center. I really like that place, lol. I think I mentioned in here before that I used to go there myself as a child. It was fun back then, but now it’s way nicer with a lot more fun things to do.

I need to remember to enroll him in swimming lessons in August.

So I finally was able to get the fishy pictures off Eric’s phone. These are just some pictures he took on his last day of Youth Nature Camp. I’m not sure exactly what kind they are, if anyone knows about fish and could tell me what is what, that’d be cool, too.

Now on to the fishies..

That last one is kinda scary lookin, lol.

Eric has been at my mom’s for over a week now. I was supposed to pick him up on Thursday when I thought he had the nature hike on Friday, but it turns out the nature hike isn’t until Tuesday. I asked him if he wanted to stay at his Gma’s house longer and he said yes, because he wanted to be able to go to church on Sunday. Plus he really likes spending time with his grandparents. He gets to help them in their garden, and he loves helping his Grandpa out with fixing things and all that “manly” type of stuff.

I tried getting him to text me the pictures he took when he went to that fish thing while he was at day camp, but for some reason he has both my old cell phone number and my new one in his phone and I think he’s sending them to the number that’s no longer in service. LOL. I dunno though cause he recorded himself talking earlier and sent that just fine. What a nerd.

The Kiddo’s New Phone

So, my son has been through a few phones so far. He’s had the firefly, 3 or 4 of them actually. He’s had this cheap little Motorola, which still works even though I’ve washed it - twice. And more recently I finally gave in to him getting his own camera phone. He loves it so much. I got him the Motorola Razr v3, and he puts it to use very well. I know I previously said I didn’t think he was ready for a camera phone, but we’ll see how it works out. He really enjoys being able to take pictures. I like that the phone is so super flat, and it’s comfortable to use when it’s opened up. The speaker on it is great, also. I guess I’ll stop singing it’s praises though.. afterall it is just a cell phone. By the way, I’ve got the pink one just like it.

Just thought I’d share.
