Vince the star student, superhero, & builder

Vince started school last week… tear L. Tear on both our parts. He’s still crying when I drop him off, yet today (day 5), he only cried for 1 minute after I left. I know because I wait by the door until he stops crying. Last week, the first couple days Vince cried so hard… and conned me into staying around and playing for awhile. But that did no good as he cried just as hard when I left. The first day it was 45 minutes straight of crying and me calling every couple hours to check on him. We have come along way since. Little crying and one call a day from me J. Maybe this week I’ll go one day where I don’t call. It was really hard last week to see him crying, knowing all he wanted was me. But I have to be the bigger person and do what’s right.. leave my baby to grow. However, I will say that although he doesn’t love school yet, he seems to be doing great once he calms down. He is socializing well with the other kids, eating well, and napping well. The eating part is surprising. At home he refuses almost everything we try and give him. There, he eats everything… sloppy joes, chicken alfredo, French toast! I’m so glad he’s getting introduced to more foods. As far as napping goes, I had to see for myself. One day during my lunch I went over there knowing it was nap time and Vince was asleep. I caught this pic. So precious! He sleeps on a cot with his blankie. I still can’t believe he goes to sleep right when he is supposed to and am glad he is doing well. It’s so hard to let go.



This past weekend we went to Austin for 2 things. 1. For fan appreciation day at UT

and 2. For a party for some of our friends birthdays.

We took Vince to both. He was such a sport hanging out at UT all day. We must have worn him out because he fell asleep on the way to the birthday party around 8pm and slept through it all. It was loud too! Although I like that he slept the whole time, I did kind of want him to wake up because we had him dressed up as Spiderman. Oh yeah, it was a Superhero and Villan party. I’m sad I didn’t get a picture of vince dressed up asleep.

When we got home, Vince and I were hanging around the house and I was reading a magazine, he was playing with toys. When I looked up, I saw this! I grabbed my phone real quick and caught him in action!
