Bryce Graduates Preschool!!!

It seemed like yesterday that Bryce was born.  And now here he is going to kindergarten.  I get all choked up just thinking about him walking into his school and into his adult years.

 The music starts playing and in walks in our little bubby.  He won't admit it, but I could see my husband get choked up!  They sit down and we can't wait to see the program!

They sing 6 songs.  That's right 6.  Bryce played it cool the entire time and was so serious. He must have been feeling super shy and I can't blame him.  After all, it must have been 50 people in a small little room!  The best part was when they read aloud what they all wanted to be when they grow up.  What do you think my Bryce says?....

He wants to "Be a chef like his Mommy so he can cook cool and awesome stuff!"

Ok-disclaimer...I am not a chef but I do like to cook and he is always in the kitchen helping me.

I was so touched!  It's one of those moments in life that you feel confirmation for the hard work of parenting.

Sydney was proud too!  She called his name about a million times during the ceremony. 

When we got home-we celebrated with a Thomas and Dora cake!

Tea Party!

Recently-my daughter received an invitation to attend a tea party.  She was through the roof excited-and of course I was too!  The hostess was so accommodating.  She made sugar free stuff galore and how sweet is that!  It’s certainly not every day that someone offers to change their plans to make your little one feel just like everyone else.

Sydney looked adorable.  She played and danced and we were having a grand time.  And I knew it was coming….the food.  Ok..(Swallow, Swallow).  There is that nagging feeling in my stomach…carb coverage nagging.  It’s wasn’t a normal 34 carb count cupcake.  It was a giant sugar free cupcake covered in sugar free fondant icing!  Again….(Swallow, Swallow)….55 carbs come to my head….no Jodi…65…Geez… Sydney is patiently looking at me hold onto her plate with the giant Cupcake and finally she says…”Mommy can I eat it now?”  Me-“Ok…(Swallow, Swallow)….here you go babe.”  I handed over the colossal masterpiece and watched my little cupcake devour every crumb of it.  Bite after bite of bliss.  I could see it all over her face…joy…. 

 

 Isn’t that just it?  It’s not about today’s carb counts or finger pricks.  It’s the little moments like this.  Maybe I’ll have to give her a glucose tab or 4 (LOL) later or maybe she’ll need more insulin but that will always be the case.  That day…she was just like every other little girl there.
