McCanless and I will start on the first of many (I’m sure) first grade projects today.\u00a0 She has read her summer reading, thanks to my sister, Kacy.\u00a0 Who just so happens to be a first grade teacher.\u00a0 (Not McCanless’ first grade teacher, unfortunately.)\u00a0 Today we will attempt to conquer her “Summer Poster” and maybe get started on her “Big Scoop” ice cream book report.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve ordered all of the photo prints from Walgreens and we’ll venture out to Walmart to gather necessary craft items.\u00a0 I usually try not to take the girls to Walmart unless absolutely necessary, however, this is her<\/em> project and although I’m such a project girl, myself, I do “let it go” when it comes to her work.\u00a0 McCanless is the kid who shows up to school with the obviously completely homemade, completely kid-done homework, projects, and take-home work.\u00a0 100%, I promise.\u00a0 Oh, how I’d love to jump in there and do it myself sometimes.\u00a0 Not because I want hers to be perfect, but because I just love projects!<\/p>\n

We have also started bed time boot camp.\u00a0 Baby steps, anyway.\u00a0 We have made McCanless sleep in her bed for two entire nights in a row so far! \u00a0 And there have been no tears, screams or fits, amazingly!\u00a0 I do have to allow her to listen to music while she sleeps.\u00a0 (Whatever works, right?)\u00a0 Funny, mom allowed us to listen to music at night and I learned every book of the Bible this way.\u00a0 I guess listening to the same song over and over and over\u00a0 will do that.\u00a0 I still know them all in order to this day, as long as I sing that same song!\u00a0 I just may have to find that CD!\u00a0 Mary Clare is still in our bed.\u00a0 Every. Single. Night. The little stinker will NOT stay in her bed.\u00a0 This week, we’ll work on placement in own beds.\u00a0 Next week, we’ll tackle actually getting into those beds before 10 P.M.\u00a0 Baby steps.<\/p>\n

We still have not heard from MUSC regarding Mary Clare’s surgery.\u00a0 Emerson has a surgery date for September and hearing that news was completely sobering.\u00a0 I’m not ready for that, but I know it is inevitable.\u00a0 We’ll travel to Emerson’s 3rd birthday party in Georgia this month and we are really looking forward to that! Erica, Emerson’s mother, and I have not missed a birthday party yet!<\/p>\n

We still have a couple of weeks before the first day of school, but school supplies have already been delivered to classrooms, I’ve gotten our Gamecock gear ready, Halloween costumes have been decided upon (and I’m sure will change a dozen times), and first day of school outfits are ready!\u00a0 Bring it on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
