Crush

Well it was inevitable really ... but at eight?
Sophia received her first phone call from a boy this weekend.
I wasn't sure really at first when this little person called because at that age they all sound the same to me. All squeaky and giddy .. their voices blend really.
So when " the call " came ...I gave Sophia's cell phone number out because I was {1} insanely busy at that particular moment and {2} My phone has become the community answer line for Sophia in General ... So I broke down and added a line.
When I told her I thought it was a boy ... she kind of looked at me and said .. right mom. Sure enough there was a message left on her line. Unfortunately she didn't wait to double check and dialed the number and asked for who called for her...
Alex.
When he answered apparently she said " Oh." " I got to go." and hung up. Just like that. I didn't really ask much ... until the stomach aches started...and the pale skin and sweats and " I can't eat dinner " and " I don't think I will make school tomorrow " comments started. I asked her why and she informed me that she had a crush on Alex.
Sigh
She seemed to perk up a bit as the day went on ...
However when I set out her clothes for school and her cute Tee-Shirt with the tattoo of the word LOVE was sitting on her bed ... she said " I am not wearing THAT tomorrow" I laughed .. because I didn't even think of it.
So Tonight she happily was back to her Diva'd self and I asked her if she felt better
about going to school and if she was okay. She said " yeah ... I don't have a crush on Alex anymore" I said " oh.. that quick,huh? Are you sure? "
She sat up in bed with her New Moon book and said " totally ".
I gave her a kiss and she smiled at me....
First crush of sorts now a memory...That was easy. Only this is just the beginning I know of what is to come someday.
Can someone stop the clocks ? I need a little time to take all this in:)

woooshhhh ....

There went the week...
It was a busy week here. The start of School for the kids... Jake going in to sixth grade and Sophia going into third. Soccer practices ...and Games today ...And this was the week that I went back to work too. Lots of comotion and busy moments here. It is all good and welcomed believe me ... as I am ready for a few changes and are excited for the kids as the begin their new places in school too.
Everyone is finding there place in our new groove ... even Silas did well while I worked for two days ... we shall see how a full week ( four days ) goes next week ... keeping my fingers crossed:)

Silas has reached a few new milestones. He can now sit himself up from a lying down position ... which cracks me up to find him sitting in the middle of his crib when he wakes from his short lived slumbers:) And he is just about to crawll .... he has mastered two to three moves across the floor ... it wont be long now;)
Then the real work begins .. Go little Mr. Man:)!!

Kisses...bites ...and smiles

The end of a loud crazy week has arrived. Aside from all the loud snorting noises...insane dramatic stories...arguments over who sits where on our daily travels..and repeatedly waking Silas from his much needed slumber..It was a great day:) The weekend is here ... last of the to do list's to accomplish for school on Tuesday ... hopefully a little down time and a trip to camp to close out the season.
All good things to come:)
